As the e-book and online retailing grow, the company perceived that a change is required to respond to the new emerging market forces. However, the change should focus on reusability as much as possible to reduce expenses. After analyzing the current state with the business subject matter experts, the business analyst (BA) proposed investing in a new business line of vending machines that sell pay per use mobile device phone fast charging stations.

Due to the urgency of this change, the BA was asked to finalize requirements elicitation in the shortest possible time.

B. Capability-centric
Business analysts may use:
• A capability-centric view of the enterprise when looking for innovative
solutions that combine existing capabilities to produce a new outcome. A
capability-based view is useful in this situation because capabilities are
generally organized in a functional hierarchy with relationships to other
capabilities, making it easier to identify any gaps.
• A process-centric view of the enterprise when looking for ways to improve
the performance of current activities. A process-based view is useful in this
situation because processes are organized in an end-to-end fashion across
the enterprise to deliver value to its customers, making it easier to ensure
that a change does in fact increase performance.
