Ensuring effective collaboration with stakeholders is essential for maintaining their engagement in business analysis activities. Collaboration can be a spontaneous event. However, much collaboration is deliberate and planned, with specific activities and outcomes determined ahead of time during planning activities.
The business analyst may plan different collaboration approaches for internal and external stakeholders, and approaches may differ by business analysis activity.
The objective is to select the approaches that work best to meet the needs of each stakeholder group and ensure their interest and involvement is maintained across the initiative. Some considerations when planning collaboration include:
✑ timing and frequency of collaboration,
✑ location,
✑ available tools such as wikis and online communities,
delivery method such as in-person or virtual, and
✑ preferences of the stakeholders.
Planning considerations can be documented in the form of a stakeholder collaboration plan. As factors change, plans can be revisited, and adjustments and adaptations can be made to ensure ongoing engagement of stakeholders.
