Business Analyst Professional Services

Get the right problems defined and the critical requirements clarified using

Business Analyst (BA) consulting by Success with CRM, today!

 

Expert business process analysis lays the foundation for transformative business development.

Our clients benefit from using our business analyst skills to determine the complete list of required requirements needed for your organization, now and into the future. In addition, we can apply best practices from our depth of small and mid-sized business acumen and breadth of CRM implementation experience from other client organizations like yours.

Listen and Learn

Our first step is to listen to your wants and needs to gather evidence for what your CRM must do and how it will need to adapt in light of anticipated future changes to get your desired outcomes.

Identify areas where processes need improvement by listening for these 15 indicators while talking with stakeholders and employees of the company:

  • Activities that fix errors instead of preventing them
  • Unnecessary handoffs or complex communications between roles or other processes
  • Activities that have an unclear role assignment
  • Areas with backlogs
  • Areas with activities that don’t provide business value
  • Areas that can reduce or eliminate waste
  • Areas that can reduce or eliminate defects
  • Areas that can reduce or eliminate frustration
  • Unclear decisions or conditions (otherwise known as gateways)
  • Activities that perform statistically outside the norm or standard
  • Inefficient flow of existing processes
  • Activities that are being performed by an inappropriate employee or other entity (also known as a resource)
  • Areas of authority ambiguity (where two or more people have the power to make the same decision, which leads to confusion about who has the final say)
  • Areas that have too much or too little management control
  • Roles that are bottlenecks

Requirements Management

Understanding and managing business and stakeholder requirements take traditional CRM selection up a notch in the results it delivers. Lack of a clear understanding of these requirements is a costly mistake. Verifying solution requirements is a key component of Success with CRM’s professional services, so you get all that you need and nothing that you don’t.

Let’s Clarify Some Terms

A business case is a top-level justification for your CRM initiative. It’s the reasoning for why you need it. It is created by the stakeholders and sponsors. Can you state your business case for software improvements?

User stories have become a common first step to capturing functional requirements. They set the stage for the process by stating your need: “I want [insert goal/desire] so that [name the benefit].

A use case is a description of behavior. It expands on the user story with full details. It is a way to visualize how the users and the system will interact to do something useful. Once we know that, we can be sure we are building the right system. Another benefit of the use case: It captures and prioritizes the functional requirements of the solution. A use case is expressed in simple, specific language and sometimes with diagrams. Learn more about getting to effective use cases here.
