IIBA DALLAS CHAPTER MEETING NOVEMBER 17TH, 2016
Developing a Holistic Strategic Plan:
The BABOK defines Enterprise Analysis as "...activities necessary to identify a business need, problem, or opportunity..."
Top presentation goals:
- Analyze the business situation in order to fully understand business problems and opportunities.
- Assess the capabilities of the enterprise in order to understand the change needed to meet business needs and achieve strategic goals..."
- Often business process re-engineering is performed to identify the business need, problem, or opportunity but excludes the information systems in the analysis
- What processes should be the highest priority, and how to justify the priority?
- Organization believes they intuitively "know" where to begin, but do they really?
- There is a technique known as Resource Life Cycle Analysis which is performed prior to business process re-engineering to create an Information System Plan (ISP).
