Needs: understanding the business need and the parts of the enterprise
that it affects helps in the identification of stakeholders. The need may
evolve as stakeholder analysis is performed.
Business Analysis Approach: incorporating the overall business analysis
approach into the stakeholder analysis, collaboration, and
communication approaches is necessary to ensure consistency across
the approaches.
Current State Description: provides context about the current state, and
includes assessments of internal and external influences to the
enterprise under consideration.
Future State Description: provides context about the desired future
state.
Risk Analysis Results: describe identified risks and exposure of each risk.
Stakeholder Engagement Approach: understanding stakeholders'
communication and collaboration needs can help identify change-related
activities that need to be included as part of the change strategy.
Elicitation Results (any state): modelling can begin with any elicitation
result and may lead to the need for more elicitation to clarify or expand
upon requirements. Elicitation and modelling may occur sequentially,
iteratively, or concurrently.
Requirements (specified and modelled): any requirement, design, or set
of those may be verified to ensure that text is well structured and that
matrices and modelling notation are used correctly.
