The BA Kit

Business analysts and their project managers need good tools to do their job. There wasn’t a comprehensive toolkit available in BA practice management, so we built our own. The BA Kit is a cloud-based solution designed specifically for business analysis teams and their project managers. The framework adds value to business analysts, their team leaders, senior management and project managers, by achieving consistency and visibility of their work.

The BA Kit is aligned to international business analysis standards and complements an organisation’s existing project management methodology. It provides a governance framework for managing tasks and assignments, based upon an organisation’s methodologies and best practice.

Key features for business analysts:

• Create multiple assignment workspaces based on your organisation’s best practice framework(s)
• Organise your tasks simply within each assignment and allocate stakeholder responsibility
• Manage your tasks and assignments with real-time visibility so you can highlight issues promptly
• Find previous project documentation and best practice templates
• Compatibility with portable touch devices like the iPad

Key features for project managers and BA team leaders:

• Set up business analysis best practice frameworks, customised for your organisation, to achieve consistency across projects and tasks
• Incorporate tasks and templates aligned to international standards
• Empower your team to create assignment workspaces based upon your practice
• Monitor real-time progress and project mood across teams and assignments
• Measure success of assignments and build on lessons learnt
• Enable new staff to hit the ground running and gain flexibility in your management of resources
• Manage administrative features of The BA Kit for your team
• Unlimited assignment workspaces and users

The BA Kit is a practice management offering including consulting services and product training. The solution is simple to set up, but together we will consider the following to derive your investment:

• The maturity of your business analysis practice
• The level of upfront consulting required in setting up your methodologies, templates and team structure
• The number of users in your organisation
• The amount of training required
