Project Management and Business

Analysis: The Dynamic Duo


22/24

How is Business Analysis related to

project management?

Project management is the

application of knowledge, skills,

tools and techniques to projectactivities to meet project

requirements.

Requirements are an inherent

aspect of Project Management

(and Program Management).Business Analysis is an important

function that identifies,

analyzes, and manages those

requirements in order to ensure

the goal of the project isachieved.

Business analysis is a discipline of

the broader practice of

Requirements Management.

Risk, complexity, change,

stakeholder and

communications management

are components of

Requirements Management,

but are only useful if you

successfully identify and plan

for them within the project

and/or program plan.

How does Business Analysis relate
