Quantum Dynamics of the Current State of a Business Process
The focus of today's video is the quantum dynamics of the current state of a business process. In my experience approximately 95% of what “we” are currently doing in a business process (i.e., the current state) “we” will continue to do in the future state, albeit in a much better way - more streamlined, more automated, etc. As business analysts we want to explore how/why did the current state come to be - what were the drivers (constraints, pressures, behaviors, strategic and operational objectives and priorities, regulatory guidelines and mandates, changes in technology, changes in organizational structure, etc.) that drove / governed / informed decisions to do certain things in certain ways?

Stupid Questions in Business Analysis
Переглядів 32Рік тому
There is an expression “there are no stupid questions.” I disagree. In the world of business analysis there are indeed stupid questions. And in the context of business analysis, I define a stupid question as a question that a business analyst could have and should have resolved prior to engaging Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and other stakeholders in a business analysis discussion.

BPMN vs. Business Analysis
Переглядів 54Рік тому
BPMN is simply a notational standard (and a very excellent notational standard). However, BPMN is not a business process analysis technique. Think of it as a tool that enables analysis.

    I am a subject matter expert, and I can attest to the advice given in this video. More consulting companies should understand the concept that a subject matter expert has zero patience for someone who has no idea what they are talking about.

    1:26 I actually covered my face in embarrassment for that BA. Why would my man go in without doing any research? It's so obvious to perform due diligence and study for such a meeting.
