BUSINESS ANALYST MENTORING PROGRAMS
MENTORING: EMBEDDING TRAINING INTO THE ORGANIZATION
Leading requirements elicitation sessions is risky for your business analysts. You want them to be successful using these techniques on their first engagements. Digital Mosaic's has many post-training support options for improving your team's success in implementing better approaches to requirements elicitation. The level of support you request depends on your company's current culture, success with elicitation, discipline in the SDLC, and the magnitude of upcoming projects. Our approach is to work alongside your business analysts to make them successful on the front line. Some of our activities could include:
- Launching and transitioning sessions: Being there to facilitate the first day of a multi-day session and coach your team as they lead the session through subsequent days.
- Conducting facilitations: Your people may want to see us do a facilitation session, or integrate a project into the flow of a training program. These activities assist you in further embedding training and realizing accelerated benefit in your company.
- Retained support: For larger teams, we are retained as skills builders and mentors. Our approach is to offer guidance on each project as it arises, conduct periodic reviews of deliverables and facilitation technique, be available for inquiries and to review project outputs. Companies adopt this as part of their continuous improvement program so that the focus on high quality requirements is never lost.
We "do" and "teach". This allows you to select a level of support unique to your organization, and better embed the disciplines of getting a more complete picture of business requirements, earlier in the development cycle.
