The Strategic Business Analyst

We introduce the Purpose Alignment Model described in the book "Stand Back and Deliver" to demonstrate how to analyze portfolios, projects, functionality, and features based on company strategy. We will discuss the benefits this approach generates, the process for implementing this model, and work through several case studies. After developing a Purpose-Alignment Model for your project or company, you can significantly improve decision making and resource allocation (and make yourself look really good).
