CCS Projects should be defined on and measured by these business improvement objectives.  \nA Business Analysts (BA) contributes to the success of IT projects by bridging the gap between the viewpoints of business managers and IT analysts. The role of the BA is to describe the business problem, solution alternatives, and deliverables of a project in business terms. The BA adds value through better defined projects resulting in more successful technology and knowledge solutions. The result is lower risk, more cost effective, and highly successful projects.  \nThe BA understands business management practices and processes and is an advocate for the business leader. The BA has the skills to apply industry-best-practice business analysis and the competencies to build relationships and to effectively communicate business and technology concepts and solution values to many audiences. The BA is a valued enterprise team player. The BA is not just another IT person-the BA would not have Project Management or IT Specialist roles. As the BA role develops, the BA should report to the Office of the CIO and be seconded to a business unit planning during a project, rather than just be part of a CCS project team.  \nTo convey the value of the BA, a shared University vision of the business analysis process needs tobe developed and communicated. CCS can facilitate the adoption of the BA by business units by defining and communicating this vision, in a very similar way to that of Project Management. Like project management, business analysis activities are best managed and communicated in a process framework. Such a framework model should be developed by CCS to support the BA.  \n\n| |\n| --- |\n| |\n\nContents  \nExecutive Summary..................................................................................................................................... 1  \nValue of the Business Analyst............................................................................................................................. 1  \nDeploying Business Analysts .............................................................................................................................. 1  \nValue of Business Analysis ................................................................................................................................. 1  \nDeveloping a Business Analysis Framework ...................................................................................................... 1  \nSummary of Recommendations ............................................................................................................... 1  \nInvestigation- Defining the Value of the Business Analyst................................................................... 2  \nRequest .................................................................................................................................................... 2  \nInvestigation ............................................................................................................................................. 2  \nConclusions .............................................................................................................................................. 2  \nDefinition of the Business Analyst role ................................................................................................................ 2  \nDeploying Business Analysts .............................................................................................................................. 3  \nValue of Business Analysis ............................................................................................................","cbCaik7tRxxvz7s2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik7tRxxvz7s2","pdf",132887,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Value of the Business Analyst\n# Deploying Business Analysts\n# Value of Business Analysis\n# Developing a Business Analysis Framework\n# Summary of Recommendations\n# Investigation - Defining the Value of the Business Analyst\n## Request\n## Investigation\n# Conclusions\n# Definition of the Business Analyst role\n# Implementing the Business Analysis Process\n# Proposed CCS Strategy\n# Role\n# Deployment\n# Business Analysis Framework\n# Recommendations\n# Appendices\n## Appendix 1 - The Goal of Business Analysis\n## Appendix 2 - Business Analyst Job Description","[{\"question\":\"What value does a Business Analyst add to IT projects?\",\"answer\":\"A BA improves project success by expressing business problems, solution alternatives, and deliverables in business terms.
