Business Analysis for Government
Key Facts
Why Does Government Need Specialized Business Analysis?
What BA Challenges Are Unique to Government?
Procurement and Approval Complexity
Government procurement rules impose constraints on technology selection, vendor evaluation, and contract structures that commercial organizations don't face. BA must produce requirements documentation that satisfies procurement evaluation criteria and supports the approval process.
Accessibility and Official Language Requirements
WCAG 2.1 AA, AODA, ADA Section 508, and official bilingual requirements affect every public-facing digital service. BA documents accessibility and language requirements as first-class specifications, not afterthoughts added during testing.
Privacy Impact Assessments (PIPEDA, Provincial Privacy Laws)
Government technology projects require privacy impact assessments before implementation. BA produces the data flow documentation, access control specifications, and consent management requirements that privacy assessments depend on.
What Projects Do We Support?
Reporting & Analytics for Public Accountability
KPI definitions tied to mandate letters, open data specifications, performance reporting requirements.
