-
What problem are we actually trying to solve?
-
Why does this change matter?
-
Who will be affected?
-
What value should the organisation expect?
-
Which solution best addresses the need?
-
What risks and assumptions need to be considered?
-
How will we know whether the solution has succeeded?
CBAP® helps experienced professionals strengthen and demonstrate the advanced Business Analysis capability needed to answer these questions.
