ABSTRACT

Project management is a more mature discipline than business analysis, and the standards set for project management have been well defi ned by the Project Management Institute® (PMI). Th ere is nothing contradictory to those standards in this chapter; project management for a business analyst is conceptually the same as any other project management. With that said, what this chapter emphasizes are the areas of project management that are most likely to be of interest to a business analyst, and to look at some of the unique challenges that the business analyst may face during the analysis phase of a project.
