Acando is a company of Programme
Managers, Project Managers and Business
Analysts focused on raising the bar for project
success.
We engage differently to create the conditions
for success so that projects achieve both
benefits and the best possible delivery.
Our customers tell us that our consultants
achieve this better than 99% of the time (and
our engagement model guarantees this).
In this master class
we look out how to
undertake effective
business analysis
from inception
through to
implementation to
ensure successful
project delivery.
How often do we
find that a project
does not deliver as
expected, or if it
does, it's only as a
result of increased
cost and time?
• Majority of errors are introduced during
requirements analysis
• Very few errors are introduced during
development
• Less than 12% of project time is allocated
to the requirements phase – bulk of time
allocated to development and testing
• Lack of alignment with business
objectives and strategy
• Poor Management of requirements

Projects cannot
live by Project
Management
alone
Less than 12% of
project
time is allocated to the
requirements phase.
The bulk of time is
allocated
to development and
testing
