This lesson builds a practical workflow for Work Planning, Governance, Scope, and Stakeholder Analysis within Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA). Learners use a business analyst coordinating requirements and solution decisions for a multi-department operational improvement with competing stakeholder needs to connect concepts with decisions, evidence, and an implementable result.
The instructor demonstrates how to prepare an achievable analysis work plan and engagement map for a cross-department initiative. The walkthrough explains what analysis effort, sequencing, and communication approach are realistic for the initiative, builds the analysis work plan and stakeholder engagement map, and tests the exception where delivery dates are fixed before analysis scope, stakeholder availability, and approval responsibilities are known.
Complete a controlled exercise to prepare an achievable analysis work plan and engagement map for a cross-department initiative and preserve the result in the analysis work plan and stakeholder engagement map.
Trace the first difference between the intended outcome and the available evidence. Recheck scope, roles, source quality, dependencies, decision criteria, and retained records independently. The analysis remains incomplete while delivery dates are fixed before analysis scope, stakeholder availability, and approval responsibilities are known.
Learners can apply Work Planning, Governance, Scope, and Stakeholder Analysis, explain what analysis effort, sequencing, and communication approach are realistic for the initiative, and support the conclusion with a analysis work plan and stakeholder engagement map.
