One thing that business analysts always have to deal with is chaos.
The chaos comes in many forms:
- Understanding complicated domains
- Understanding large volumes of requirements
- Understanding the status of testing
- Understanding progress of data migration initiatives
- Understanding how requirements trace back to business needs
- Understanding entities and attributes
- Understanding business processes and the stakeholders involved.
All of the above require the capability to understand and organize large volumes of information.
A good organizational structure can make tasks simple and straightforward.
A bad organizational structure can make the tasks complicated, go in circles, and in the end very frustrating.
Take the time to create a good organization with a good understanding of what the result of the organizing is. The investment of this time will always pay dividends in the end.
