A business analyst (BA) conducts a process analysis on the business analysis practices that were used on the previous major implementation. From this the BA identifies and documents that there are three improvement areas which would make the business analysis process more efficient. In which business analysis artifact does the BA document these measures of improvement for the next piece of analysis work?
The appropriate artifact for documenting measures of improvement for the business analysis process is the Performance Assessment. This document includes a comparison of planned versus actual performance, identifies the root cause of any variances, proposes approaches to address issues, and provides findings that help understand the performance of business analysis processes. Skills assessment pertains to individual competencies rather than process improvements, engagement approach outlines how stakeholders will be involved, and governance approach defines decision-making structures. Therefore, Performance Assessment is the correct place to document these improvements.
