In order to plan the business analysis approach, the business analyst must understand the organizational process needs and the purpose of the proposed solution. The organizational process needs are the current and desired state of the business processes, as well as the gaps, issues, and opportunities for improvement. The purpose of the proposed solution is the expected value and benefits that the solution will deliver to the stakeholders and the organization. Understanding both the organizational process needs and the purpose of the proposed solution helps the business analyst to define the scope, objectives, and deliverables of the business analysis work, as well as to select the most appropriate methods, techniques, and tools to perform the business analysis tasks.
