Business Analysis has never been more important, and valuable, to organisations as they strive to adapt to an ever-changing and faster-changing environment. This expanded edition of Business Analysis Techniques provides detailed guidance on the range and application of the techniques available to assist business analysts and others in their work.

Business Analysis Techniques provides a foundation for the effective specification, design and development of digital solutions, solutions that are based on a proper understanding of the real business need and the requirements for solutions to meet them. With 123 of the most widely used techniques covered, this book is an essential resource for any business analyst.

This book:

  • Places a large number of techniques into the context of the Business Analysis Service Framework, providing clear guidance on the applicability and use of 123 of the most-used techniques available in the business analyst’s toolbox
  • Provides detailed information on the use of each technique
  • Accessibly written with worked examples of all of the techniques described
  • Offers practical tips for using and adapting the techniques in the real world

Pair it with Business Analysis, also published BCS for even greater insights.

Business Analysts have always had a wealth of techniques at their disposal but how the toolkit has grown! If you are looking to shine as a business analyst you will be well aware of the importance of becoming the master of our rich BA toolkit, know what technique to use for each occasion and how to use it to good effect. This upgrade on a ‘must have’ BA classic extends the toolkit by another 24 techniques! I encourage all BAs to use this book to build their confidence in their own professionalism and be regarded as masters of their BA toolkit.
