PMI-PBA Force Field Analysis, Acceptance Criteria,Bench Marking, RCA, Interface Analysis,Lessons Learned, Pareto Chart

1.Force Field Analysis

Force field analysis will help to identify the positive and negative force against the solution.
How to make my solution win and need to find out the optimum way.

2. Acceptance Criteria/Fit Criteria/Test Completion Criteria

BA defines the acceptance criteria

3. Bench Marking

- Bench marking is a tool will analyse the strength and weakness of the company against competitor.
- Do not compare Apple with orange.
- Its time consuming and blocks innovation.

4. RCA (Root Cause Analysis)
The purpose of root cause analysis is to determine the underlying root cause of a problem.
Root cause analysis used to facilitate team members to continue pushing back to the root causes of an effect or a problem

RCA - Structured examination
1. Fish bone analysis (Ishikawa or cause and effect diagram)
2. 5 why analysis

1. Effect Identification
Effect will be presented to the team to identify the cause of the problem
2. Brain storm broader categories and sub categories
3. further sub categories identification
4. Get the Fish bone
The process will be repeated until we get the root cause of the problem, Example Fish Bone Diagram.

Interface Analysis

Why interface analysis needed ?

- To identify communication rules between two different component.

How does it help?

Anticipation in delivery date and collaboration between different applications.

Interface elements ?

interface identification preparation, conduct interface identification and define interfaces.

Lessons Learned
1. The purpose of lessons learned process is to improve the performance of future projects or project phases.

- Opportunities for improvement
- Document success
- Failures

It can be formal or informal

Format of lessons - Should be usable for key stakeholders


Pareto Chart
Pareto chart is a useful technique to understand the most effecting area of the requirement 
Using this we can identify MMF - Minimum marketable features or Threshold features.

MMF -- MOSCOW ----> Must have.
              Kano ---->Threshold.

Way to identify features which produce maximum value - vital few
