Job Crafting for Business Analysts

You don’t need to change companies or roles to get even more pleasure or satisfaction from your work. You can polish yourself and make your current job more fit for you.

We all understand that the practice of business analysis can really vary between companies and functions. It is tempting to think that it is totally the organization and also the culture which is causing these differences; in reality, the individual BAs commonly affect the function a good deal.

Crafting BAs

Job crafting is a validated process for enhancing the meaningfulness of work, and evidence is strong that performance increases markedly when job crafting is implemented. When it comes to Business Analysis including things:

• Task/Process
• Relationship/People
• Contribution & Purpose

Crafting the Tasks

You don’t have to stick to some narrow directives or rules, BA approach differs from one project to another. If you want to add some creativity you can do that. You can create diagrams, charts, and tables, and offer value by creating a shared understanding. The process is generally divided into multiple steps with each step involving specific tasks to perform, principles to follow, and documents to produce. While these steps and principles are agnostic to the SDLC cycle, the frequency of occurrence or the order may change. Each step within the business analysis phase may be longer or shorter depending on the type of project.

Crafting the Relationship

“Alone, we can do so little; Together we can do so much”.

Communication is the key to all relationships. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about personal or professional relationships here — no one can do without effective communication. Team communication in particular is important to master. For a team to function effectively, there must be open channels of communication. We can use different engagement methods, such as regular check-ins, newsletters, and surveys to build both engagement and relationships.

Crafting the Purpose

Business Analytics helps businesses do business better. We have the specialized knowledge to act as a guide and lead the business through the unknown or unmapped territory, to get it to its desired destination. The value of business analysis is in the realization of benefits, avoidance of cost, identification of new opportunities, understanding of required capabilities, and modeling the organization. Through the effective use of business analysis, we can ensure an organization realizes these benefits, ultimately improving the way they do business.
