One of the first things I like to do when trying to understand a problem is to develop a high-level overview of the situation. These techniques have their roots in Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), but I’ve found them to be quite useful as tools forming part of my analysis approach.

The BABOK outlines a total of thirty-four “generally accepted techniques that support the practice of business analysis”, however, in my experience there are many more techniques out there. The greater number of tools under my belt, the greater choice I have in not only planning my approach, but also in conducting my analysis activities. As a Business Analyst, I’m lucky enough to be continually learning new tools, techniques and methodologies.
