Business Analysis Information

Any information used during business analysis that is communicated to stakeholders. This information and to whom it is communicated, is captured in the Stakeholder Engagement Approach. Business Analysis Information is compiled into packages before being distributed to the appropriate stakeholders.

Business Analysis Information receives input from the Stakeholder Engagement Approach and other Business Analysis Information.

Details

Business Analysis Information contains 3 attributes and 1 operation.

  • Deliverable ID - Identifies the package containing the information.

  • Objectives and Format of Communication – The outline, the format and a description of the objective for the business analysis information communication package.

  • Business Analysis Package – The content of the business analysis information communication package.

  • Communicate Business Analysis Information - The Communicate Business Analysis Information operation ensures that all stakeholders have a common understanding of the information that is communicated.

Note: The equivalent elements in the BABOK are named Determine Objectives and Format of Communication and Communicate Business Analysis Package.

Life Cycle

A Business analysis information communication package is created and then communicated to stakeholders. When the information is no longer relevant to the project the communication package is archived.

States

A state name describes the primary action that is occurring to the requirement. In reality, these actions occur in parallel. The state diagram shows something that must be done before moving to the next state, and does not indicate that the action taken in that state is complete.

  • Uncommunicated – The business analysis information is being packaged for communication.

  • Communicated – The package has been delivered to stakeholders.

  • Archived - The information in the package is no longer used by the organization.

Dependencies

Business analysis information is derived from Business Needs.

Business Analysis Information is directly dependent on the Stakeholder Engagement Approach and other Business Analysis Information.
