About this episode

In this episode Susan Moore and guest Laura Brandenburg, founder and CEO of Bridging the Gap, discuss how having a structured approach to business analysis can improve the outcomes, quality and value of our work. This approach can also lead to more confidence and credibility for the business analysis professionals.  Laura introduces one such framework, her “Business Analyst Framework for Success," detailing its eight steps, from understanding business objectives to evaluating value created. This framework will be the source of her 3-part IIBA member webinar series starting in March also titled The Business Analyst Framework for Success.

The conversation highlights how frameworks complement project, software development and agile methodologies, adapt to various project contexts, and support both new and experienced BAs in delivering impactful outcomes.

✨Episode Highlights:

• What a business analysis framework is and why it's essential for practitioners.

• How to navigate the complexities of project management and software development frameworks while maintaining your unique business analysis approach.

• The benefits of being proactive and strategic in your role as a business analyst.
