In order to find a perfect solution Business Analyst (BA) breaks the problem and analyse them by linking each of them in to a logical chain. It is a chain of events that are necessary in a project to get a perfect solution (last link in the Business analysis chain) from a problem (first link in the Business analysis chain). The first link in the project may be in form of a problem or an opportunity and the last link may be in form of a precise definition to tackle the problem in a most appropriate form or a solution to capitalise the opportunity ¬- Philosopher Hume explains the Chain of reasoning informs the every check point where the business analysts have to make a reasonable choice to get perfect solution.
Each logical step in the chain of reasoning depends on its predecessor. If any one step is neglected or ignored, it can change the whole out come of the project. As mistakes made in the early stage have a greater impact on the whole project. So we should be precisely careful in the early stages of the project to avoid grater damage. The damage is rationally propitiated to the size of the company’s project.

The project can be stated as a successful if the most prioritised Business benefits can be significantly traced through its requirements to the business drives. A project can be a successful with out following this chain of stages, but we cannot calculate or measure the degree of success of the solution. The chain of reasoning can also termed as the measuring tool of business success.

Let’s
discuss about each stage and how they are inter-related to each
other.
Drivers:
Drives
are the initial stages of the Business Analyst project. This is a
necessity of a business when there is a change in the technology
(availability of new technology) or when a business needs to expand
its operations to new fields. All change projects begin with a
problem or a need to achieve a new business or a need to change to
achieve a different result like to cut its production costs or to
improve its service or to implement new legislation. These reasons
are known as drivers that drive the need for this project. As most
projects have multiple drive which cannot be neglected, as it has
unique impact on overall vision. Problem can be derived in to various
drives which constitutes the project. If a single driver is
neglected, it will lead to a different vision which may or may not be
appropriate with the project.
Vision:
The way
the business can perform after completion of the BA's project is a
vision. It a projection of the organisation’s response after its
drive is successfully answered and when no further change is
required. It defines drivers response, in future how the business
will look like after its completion. The project deliverance or
changes can be defined and realised after the business vision of the
project is agreed like a new business process may be needed or an
existing process may need streamlining. This can be in other form
known as Business Goal. The vision can be realised in long term
future, with several change projects according to its requirement. By
understanding the vision the company can be able to check whether or
not they are in a right direction towards realising the goal.
Goal:
it is
realisation of business process of how a project will be going to
achieve its vision. If the path to realise is not clear then the goal
will be missing. A series of business objectives underpin the goal of
the project.
Business
Objectives:
Business
objectives provide means to measure the degree to which the goal has
been achieved. It defines how the achievement of goal is measured.
Therefore business objectives must have a means of measurement and an
expected values (defined as business benefits) associated with them.
It defines how the success will look in materialistic form and how
will the project justify the expenditure incurred. It is a must
measurable tool to ascertain whether the project is accurately
refined to the terms of the vision agreed.
Business
Requirements:
Business
requirements are the needs of operation or defined as detailed
capabilities which are required to achieve objectives and realise
the benefits from it. To confirm the validity of a project we must
clear linkage between business requirements and its objectives. If
the requirement is not able to show its contribution towards nay of
its objectives then it is not validated. We can discover the gaps in
the early stage by this validity of business requirements than
later which can have a serious consequences if discovered.
Business
Design:
The
proposal of solution/solutions to the business requirements is a
business design. It may be various solution to the given requirement.
A function of a design is how the automated solution will work.
While the business requirements are expected to be satisfied by the
way of performance of the automated solution with out considering the
technical aspects of the design. A careful analysis is required with
out skipping the reality of how the design is to be worked on.
Organisations should not interfere with the designers and are given
full freedom from any unnecessary constraints. Thus within the
restraints of technology, the designers propose the solutions that
will best satisfy the requirements which are developed to achieve the
objectives of the project.
Business
Solution:
A
solution is which solve the problem the the drivers has shown on the
first stage. They help us to realise the benefits that are acquired
form the project.
