Nearly half of the projects that fail, fail because of "poor requirements management" (PMI 2014). Leveraging Business Analysis for Project Success explores the role of the business analyst in setting a project up for success. It informs and educates project managers, sponsors, and organization leaders on what is necessary for project success. It goes beyond requirements management in exploring how the business analyst can contribute to increased profitability through project selection, scope definition, and post-implementation evaluation. The reader will learn about the history of business analysis, professional organizations and resources to support the profession, and what to expect from the business analyst at each phase of the project life cycle as presented in a case study throughout the text. Project leaders will be better able to support the business analysis needs of the project by understanding the skills, expertise, tasks, resources, and time needed to do business analysis right and maximize the return on investment for each project. 000842269 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on August 6, 2015). 000842269 650_0 $$aProject management. 000842269 650_0 $$aBusiness analysts. 000842269 653__ $$aBusiness analysis 000842269 653__ $$aBusiness analyst 000842269 653__ $$aReturn on investment 000842269 653__ $$aProject 000842269 653__ $$aRequirements 000842269 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000842269 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606497388 000842269 830_0 $$aPortfolio and project management collection.$$x2163-9582 000842269 852__ $$bebk 000842269 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4713502$$zOnline Access 000842269 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:842269$$pGLOBAL_SET 000842269 980__ $$aBIB 000842269 980__ $$aEBOOK 000842269 982__ $$aEbook 000842269 983__ $$aOnline
