Exhibit 4.8 Business Requirements for the Radio Station Case Study (Chapter 1), Visualized
with a Mind Map
For tasks that, to a great extent, require quantitative analytical competencies, a business performance specification will take the form of an ongoing dialogue. Unlike reports in which the user interprets the results, in this specification the analyst will be doing the interpretation of quantitative analytical tasks. Naturally, this means that unforeseen problems might be encountered in the process. These must be discussed and dealt with. The initial preparation of business requirements must state clearly who possesses business key competencies for answering any questions, and then make sure that these people are available as needed.
Similarly, in connection with major projects, such as data mining solutions, certain subtargets should be agreed on to facilitate a continuous evaluation of whether the performance of the overall task is on track in relation to its potential value creation as well as whether more resources and competencies should be added.
