Updated BA process

See Figure below.

Guidelines for BA (highlights of new process)

BA phase:

• Focus on Requirements not Design

DevEst:

• Contact developer to discuss if task is large/high impact

Dev phase:

If task is large/high impact:

• Prototype is required
• Proj plan is required
• regular BA to Dev interaction is required

BA Management and updates

I would like BAs to be as independent is possible (work with little supervision).

This means that after they receive BA Sprint Plan from CT2 Board (list of projects and tasks) they create more detailed plans for themselves and work independently only providing weekly status updates in the form of short written report and meeting (if required), once at the end of each week.

Example of BA monthly plan:

Example of BA weekly report:

TBD

Apr 12

Detailed example of BA monthly project plan

• MUST be created at the beginning of sprint and sent to me for review
• Please use format below.

NOTE1: You can use additional tabs (one per project for example) if more convenient.

NOTE2: Original xls can be downloaded from here: http://ct.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/file_download.php?file_id=2180&type=bug

BA weekly report

• goal is to provide status for critical and possibly other tasks (on schedule or if not why) and visibility to how time is spenT
• for now just email
• example
