all righty so now we're gonna be talking about business analysis planning and monitoring this
is our first knowledge area in our third chapter basically this is analysis playing and monitoring
are the tasks that we perform in order to coordinate business analysis work in coordination
with the stakeholders so these are the various outputs that are produced to basically serve as
a guideline for the rest of the task throughout the Babic I so this knowledge area includes five
tasks including plan business analysis approach plan stakeholder engagement plan business analysis
governance plan business analysis information management and identify business analysis
performance improvements now planning business analysis approach describes the basic the overall
framework or methodology for how we're doing our work debauch refers to this as an approach
but for the exam you might see it come across as a plan so this basically describes the planning
of business analysis work from the creation or selection of a methodology to planning the actual
or individual activities tasks and deliverables then planned stakeholder engagement describes the
understanding of the stakeholders who are relevant to the change and what the business analyst needs
from them as well as what they need from us in addition to how we're going to collaborate with
them and then we'll move on to planning business analysis governance which is all about defining
how decisions are made so basically we're ensuring that decisions are made properly and
consistently and follow the process that ensures that decision-makers have the information they
need in order to make the most informed decisions and then planning business analysis information
talks on how we're going to Stormin access work or store and yeah and access the business analysis
information basically the information that's developed during the business analysis process how
that information is captured stored and integrated with other information for long-term use and then
we'll move on to identifying business analysis performance improvements now this task is a little
bit separate from the other tasks because this one is more about assessing our actual work and as
you know analyzing how we can improve on that for continuous learning and improvement opportunities
so the other tasks do more with the business analysis planning and and this is where the
monitoring piece comes in into business analysis planning and monitoring knowledge area all right
and so babba describes the core concept model in relation to this particular knowledge area
I talked about the core concept model last week so I'm not going to go over it again this week
because it's not a huge concept before the exam at least not to this extent the exam focus is more on
the core concept model in general not specifically how it fits within a particular knowledge area
alright so this here talks about all of the inputs tasks and outputs that are involved
in the business analysis planning and monitoring knowledge area so these are not again these are
related to the overall knowledge area and then each of these are related to a specific task
within that knowledge area so the inputs include the needs the performance objectives and then
our tasks again include business analysis planning approach planning the stakeholder
engagement plan business analysis governance plan business analysis information management
and identify business analysis performance improvements and so our outputs are most of
these are actual tangible deliverables that include your business analysis approach which
might also be referred to as the business analysis plan and all of these are subsets
of the business analysis plan so you have your stakeholder engagement approach your governance
approach your information management approach and in the business analysis performance assessment
