Business Analysis Artifacts
The following artifacts are produced as part of the business analysis process, but not necessarily used by external stakeholders. However, all stakeholders may review and approve these artifacts before accepting deliverable artifacts from the BA. The primary consumer is the business analyst, who uses them to produce artifacts that will be delivered to stakeholders. The BA consumed artifacts allow stakeholders to plan and monitor the business analysis process. Each artifact is described using a details diagram, guidelines, techniques and tools diagrams and worker diagrams.
Business Requirement, Potential Value, Business Objective and Solution Scope are children so they include the tasks, techniques, guidelines and workers associated with parent artifact.
