ePragmatic - practical solutions

I recently posted a message on our Yahoo groups called "Biz_analysts" trying to analyze what a Business Analyst should do? The topic name is "Analyze this.... Analyze that..."

"Analyze this .... Analyze that.... sounds like a movie name, where
Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal have played outstanding
performance ... anyways the reason to post this image and topic
on 'BRAIN' yahoo groups is to hear your views, I feel that as a
Business analyst we should not only Analyze uni-direction, but need
to Analyze bi-directional... what does that mean???

Well, we (BA's) go out and start understanding business requirements
and the problems faced by our customers and try to write requirement
documents, Use case, UML, blah blah, which i terms as 'Analyze
this'...

Now at this juncture, before pouring those documents to development
teams, ideally one should take requirements and share them with your
internal development teams and understand their point of view and
the tools they are planning to use to address the problems, which I
term as 'Analyze that...'

We have to do a balancing act of addressing customers/market
requirements (inward) and address technology and tools (outward) to
customers/market, this balancing act helps us to release
products/projects on-time and stay with technology that and cutomers
benefit in both ways.

Whether you are a Business Analyst for Product based company or
Project based companies, whether you use Rational tools or Product
mgmt tools, the inward and outward information sharing has to
occur....

So why don't you guys Analyze this thought .... and provide your
opinions and views ...

'Doc, Doc ur good.. ohh yeah ur good ...', famous dialogues from the
movie :)"
