Guirella Centre of Excellence

It's "reccomended best practice" these days to have a BA Centre of Excellence for any decent sized organisation, and most pieces of improving the performance of the BA function in an organisation being with getting senior management buy-in for starting one. This is fair enough.

But what if you can't?

I knocked togather a few powerpoint slides on low cost, cheap, fast ways to improve performance of the BA function in your organisation if you can't do anything formal. Essentially it boils down to:

• Encourage social contact amongst BAs
• Do information sharing at informal brown-bag lunches
• Have a good bookshelf on-hand
• Have conversations about basic theories, i.e. "What is a requreiment?"
• Use BABOK and IIBA to enhance the "professionalism" of being a BA

This all comes down to encouraging self-directed learning, and a team pride in the BA role.
