Introduction:

Analysis is a critical skill in terms of both business and project execution. The concepts, tools, and techniques are widely applicable and sufficiently robust, in that they can be applied to nearly every industry, microvertical, and even personal life. Having held various positions in business for over 20 years, I cannot begin to stress strongly enough the importance of business analysis and the Project Management Institute’s Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA® ) credential. For a moment, consider the cartoon below, which was adopted for this book based on a March 1973 University of London Computer Center Newsletter and then put online on September 9, 2003, in a blog titled “Typical Project Life”; it metaphorically explains the gaps between business requirements and execution.
