Plan the Analysis Environment

In addition to choosing the right people, it is important to establish the right environment for analysis. The analysis environment include:

• Project software including CA Gen, project management tools, and documentation aids
• Computer hardware such as workstations, printers, and communications
• Meeting rooms with space for conducting facilitated sessions and interviews
• Other equipment such as filing cabinets, white boards, bulletin boards, and flip charts
• Project room
• If possible, an area that can serve as an informal meeting place during analysis
• Often, the walls of such a room is covered with diagrams for the business model and lists of issues to facilitate team discussion.
