Improving Project Success Rates: Addressing Business Analysis Gaps

A staggering 60% of projects fail to meet business objectives, as highlighted by sources like BluePrint Inc., Gartner, and the Standish CHAOS Report. This failure often results from missed business outcomes, unused features, and costly rework, which accounts for 40% of project waste. Business Analysts play a crucial role in mitigating these issues by applying best practices and methodologies defined by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), which offers valuable resources, certifications, and professional development opportunities for practitioners in the field.
