Make Your Mark
Analysis Everywhere is more than just a tagline—it's a rallying cry for the business analysis community to come together, celebrate their achievements, and champion the vital role they play in shaping the organizations of tomorrow.That spirit was recently on show at Building Business Capability 2024 in sunny Florida, where I saw Analysis Everywhere in action throughout the event. As IIBA’s Junior Product Manager Tyler Kenny put it: “We use analysis everywhere—not just at work but in our personal lives—all facets of our lives!”
Many business analysis professionals shared their take on the broad impact business analysis can have, both at work and at home:
“You can do analysis on everything that you’re doing—understanding the ins and outs, what feeds into and how you can make the processes better.” — Ashley Skipton
“I use business analysis every day at work, and I use it all the time at home too—seeing all the connections in things I can fix…” — Ginger Allgeier
“Analysis Everywhere to me means you’re always looking everywhere—you’re looking at different perspectives through different lenses on how to view things—you’re looking from a customer’s point of view, software/tester point of view, and making sure that everything is in alignment and makes sense in the process from the beginning to the end.” — Judy Kingsbury
“I practice Analysis Everywhere! I’m a new mom and I have so many things that need to get done. With my kids, I need to make sure I prioritize their meals and naptime, on top of me working and getting my things done. So it takes a lot of prioritization, planning, analysis, implementation and feedback too!” — Ritika Sood
“I practice Analysis Everywhere specifically when I’m working out—I’m thinking about what I’m eating, what my goals are, what my workout is for that day, and how to accomplish my goals, My goals are for the month so I’m always thinking and analyzing my fitness journey.” — Brandi B. Sonnier
Now the ball’s in your court!
