MOre questions are welcome here, and you light also like to try the forums of one of the BA communities;<BR/><BR/>ModernAnalyst.com<BR/>Requirements Network Group<BR/>BA times<BR/>(and there are others also)<BR/><BR/>RegardsCraig Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01210437173582289473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466608.post-32370626195306258192009-01-15T00:40:00.000+11:002009-01-15T00:40:00.000+11:00Sure, we have one at IAG Consulting we use every day, see www.iag.biz.

However as we are all still struggling with the set up and establishing the standards, one of the PMs have asked me (a BA) if we, BAs have a cetain Methodology in eliciting the requirements or Guidelines/Set of questions that we ask in order to get the actual problem and requirements of the user/stakeholder. <BR/><BR/>Well, I wasn't able to answer clearly because I dont know and I haven't use any methodology. All I know are the techniques and that questions are based on the expertise and knowledge of the BA on the business. <BR/><BR/>However, DO BUSINESS ANALYSTS REALLY HAVE A METHODOLOGY/GUIDELINES/SET OF QUESTIONS? Kinldy enlighten me. <BR/><BR/>Thanks.jolenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08806705420199422741noreply@blogger.com
