In the last discussion we talked about Checkpoint Alpha, an informal meeting between the business analyst and the problem owner or customer that establishes goals for the product, gets expectations out in the open and defines the criteria for product acceptance. Checkpoint Alpha is informal, because there is no agenda needed and there are no signatures marking the outcome, but it is a mandatory session for the business analyst’s success.
Checkpoint Beta is not mandatory. It is, however, extremely helpful for the business analyst. Checkpoint Beta is also an informal meeting, this time with the solution team. It is held prior to committing the solution to the final, formal solution document andobtaining final confirmation from the business community.
