A company with a big information technology (lT) department has hired a lead business analyst (BA) to enhance its business analysis practices The lead BA discovers that sponsors are not satisfied with project outcomes. Developers complain about incomplete, ambiguous, and changing requirements. All stakeholders including project managers, are blaming long cycles of analysis for the delays The business analysts, in turn feel overwhelmed with the number of projects and frustrated by the lack of collaboration from reviewers of their deliverables All of the evidence is anecdotal and none of the groups could strongly substantiate their opinions. What should the lead BA implement to identify areas of improvement?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Key performance measures Key performance measures provide quantifiable, evidence-based data to replace the anecdotal complaints from all stakeholder groups. Without measurable baselines - such as requirement change rates, rework frequency, or cycle time metrics - it is impossible to prioritize or justify any improvement initiative. KPIs give the lead BA the objective foundation required to diagnose root causes and track progress over time.

Answer

A. A BA time tracking system A time tracking system only captures how BAs allocate their hours and does not reveal whether outcomes, quality, or stakeholder satisfaction are improving.

Answer

B. Templates for BAs lo use Templates standardize the format of BA deliverables but do not measure performance or surface the root causes of dissatisfaction.

Answer

C. Workload plans of the BA Workload plans address capacity allocation and scheduling but do not generate performance data to identify specific improvement areas.
