The core concepts can be used by business analysts to consider the quality and completeness of the work being done. While planning or performing a task or technique, business analysts can consider how each core concept is addressed by asking questions such as:
What are the contexts that we and the solution are in?
How the contexts will change to provide bigger value for the stakeholders
Where is the major gap in the contexts that may be filled to avoid the change?
What are the contexts we need to change the stakeholders?
While Brenda, the business analyst, was reviewing the stakeholders list with Karl, the project manager, a dispute happened between them about how the stakeholders should be named. Karl was insisting to use the naming found in the Project Management Standard while Brenda insisted to restrict the naming to that used in the BABOK. Who is right?
Brenda is right, because the BA is the first person to define stakeholders, and this should be taken from the BABOK perspective
Karl is right, because the project has broader stakeholders than the business analysis, and that is the reason why the PM standard should be followed in this case
the dispute is useless, because the stakeholders mentioned in the BABOK or other standards are just examples of common stakeholders. Those can have different naming and types for each initiative. The most important is to have a consistent way to define those stakeholders.
Both are right, and the dispute is useless. The BA can use whatever relevant to his initiative, and the PM can change the naming whenever he include those information into his project documents.
