Navigating Business Analysis 
Anywhere Any Method
With Help From IIBA BABOK Guide

This evening is about business analysis, both the timeless foundations of business analysis, and the ability to be adaptable and be present to what is occurring in this moment in time. We will sift through the confusing noise to bring you clarity, applicability, and the further distinctions the marketplace has accumulated around business analysis. 

Evolving Problem Analysis

We will look at problem analysis and how it has evolved over time. We will look at problem analysis and what has evolved from it

• discovery, consultant discovery
• agile discovery
• product discovery
• design thinking (a problem solving process)

When is it good to be separate from problem solving, and how can it be valuable when problem solving and informing the decision-making process.

Evolving Process Mapping

We will look at process mapping and the alternatives that have emerged. There is

• Journey map
• Story board
