The project manager wants to have the requirements analysis phase approved and asks the business analyst (BA) if this is possible. The BA wants to ensure that the requirements package is complete prior to closing the analysis phase. What would help the BA expedite the approval process for the analysis phase?
To expedite the approval process for the analysis phase, the business analyst should focus on the business analysis information architecture. This is because the architecture helps ensure that the complete set of requirements is properly organized and related. It defines and verifies the relationships among various types of business analysis information, such as requirements, designs, and elicitation results, ensuring the requirements package is comprehensive and cohesive. This thoroughness helps facilitate stakeholder understanding and decision-making, thereby speeding up the approval process.
