Business Analysis by Industry
Why Industry Context Matters for Business Analysis
BA methodology is universal — stakeholder elicitation, process mapping, requirements traceability, and acceptance testing apply to every IT project regardless of sector. But how that methodology applies is industry-specific. A requirements workshop in healthcare must account for HIPAA and PHIPA. A process map in manufacturing must reflect shop floor reality, not an ERP vendor's idealized workflow. An ERP fit-gap analysis in finance has compliance dimensions — SOX, AML/KYC, PCI-DSS — that other sectors don't face. A CMS migration for government must address WCAG accessibility, official language requirements, and privacy legislation that commercial organizations rarely encounter.
