PMI’s Business Analysis for Practitioners:Collaboration Points

For Facilitated Workshops:

“It is not always practical for multiple business analysts to be present in a single facilitated workshop. This is an opportunity for the project manager and the business analyst to team up. The project manager may support the effort by fulfilling one of the roles, such as the scribe, thereby allowing the business analyst to focus on the questions and elicitation of information.”
