ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Business units need to make investment decisions at a time when there is low certainty on business outcomes, what technology and business capabilities are needed to achieve them, and the alternative options available. The Business Analyst plays an important role in providing conceptual level analysis to support the decision making process, giving the business greater confidence in investment and trade-off decisions prior to project initiation. Using a real example in a complex business and technical environment, Janine will describe how Telecom New Zealand addressed these challenges

Key Learning Objectives:

1. Traits needed of a Business Analyst to work at a conceptual level
2. The approach used and lessons learned
3. The importance of getting the right level of detail
