Business Analyst's Toolkit

Identify the stakeholders for a project, including their level of influence, which issues are important to them, and how they will be engaged. This template can be used to identify and describe the stakeholders for a project and is appropriate to use when: identifying the stakeholders for a program or project; grouping stakeholders by their level of influence, what is important to them, and/or what they could contribute; and describing how you will engage stakeholders.

Make a great start on your next project with the Business Analysis Approach Template. This template helps you set the expectations on how you perform your work, the resources you need and the types of activities you will engage in, e.g. workshops and interviews. So everybody is on the same page! Planning also increases the transparency of your work as the small processes of your analysis are better understood. This helps when expectations have to change. A well written plan will help you communicate exactly what’s required of you and your stakeholders to produce the necessary deliverables for your business analysis effort, and why.
