» Why I.T.Standards Fail
Article Rating (2727 Views) (0 Comments)
Not long ago Shane "Locutus" Shields wrote an interesting blog entitled, "What is the use of standards?" whereby he expressed his disillusionment with standards in the Information Technology (I.T.) field. His discontent is not without precedence. Most of us have at one time or another yearned for standards in our work effort, only to be thwarted by...

» FEATURED: US Healthcare – Online Resources for the Business Analyst
Article Rating (16864 Views) (1 Comments)
Did you know that you could make a positive impact in people’s lives by working as a Business Analyst (BA)? By describing data flows, writing use cases, creating diagrams, re-engineering current processes or mapping the system’s data outputs and inputs, you could make a change in somebody’s life. As impossible as it sounds, it is happening on a dai...

» Is PRIDE too rigid?
Article Rating (2618 Views) (0 Comments)
I was recently asked by an "Agile" proponent if I thought our "PRIDE" methodologies were too rigid for today's fast-paced Information Technology world, that perhaps it was too bureaucratic. First, I pointed out that "PRIDE" was more of a way of thinking as opposed to anything else. You can remove all of the documentation associated with the methodo...

» Covering for Incompetence
Article Rating (2564 Views) (0 Comments)
The pointy haired manager in Scott Adams' "Dilbert" cartoon has become an icon for management incompetence. Although Adams' character may seem like an extreme, we have all encountered various examples of the Peter Principle whereby people have risen above their level of competency. We see this not only in our companies, but also in the nonprofit or...

» Why Do Business Analysts Say These Dumb Things?
Article Rating (2577 Views) (1 Comments)
Yes I know this sounds harsh, but I am hearing these 3 items more and more from BA's with 5+ years of 'experience', and it's driving me crazy. I would expect to hear this from a junior analyst, but someone with 5+ years? That's just plain crazy. The article also covers 6 potential sources causing the Business Analyst to behave this way. Author: ...

» Requirements for My New Car: a Fable (A Case for gathering and eliciting requirements collaboratively)
Article Rating (6162 Views) (8 Comments)
A lot of IT folks and or BA’s believe that if you create the requirements without the business, and then review the requirements with the business for confirmation, you can save a lot of time. After all, creating requirements collaboratively just takes too long, and the business doesn't know what they want, anyways. In addition, we (IT or BA) k...

» Understanding Effectiveness
Article Rating (2883 Views) (0 Comments)
Discusses the use of worker time and how it impacts estimating and scheduling in Project Management.... It's been a while since I've discussed the concept of "effectiveness" but I was recently up in Cincinnati and saw it in action again. This time, I happened to be visiting my brother-in-law who had hired a crew to tear down some dead trees on his...
