The best way for a business analyst to help the team work together more effectively is to lead them in creating a team agreement that assigns project roles and outlines how the team will collaborate, disagree, develop trust, and define success. This will help them align on common goals, expectations, and norms, and resolve any conflicts or misunderstandings. Encouraging leadership to share their vision for the project and ask the larger team to focus feedback only on the key objectives, pain points, and requirements outlined by leaders may create a top-down approach that ignores other stakeholder perspectives or needs. Limiting participation in key project discovery, requirements, and solutioning meetings to leadership and engaging the larger team to answer questions directly related to their roles when needed may create a siloed approach that reduces collaboration or buy-in.

The reference that the business analyst should consult to learn more about the previous consultant’s recommendation is an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD). An ERD is a diagram that shows the logical structure and relationships of data entities in a database or system. An ERD helps to model and document how data entities are organized, connected, and interact with each other. An ERD also helps to normalize data entities by reducing redundancy and inconsistency in data storage and retrieval. The previous consultant recommended that Universal Containers move to a more normalized data model to represent its containers, which means that they wanted to avoid storing duplicate or unnecessary data in multiple tables or fields. The business analyst should consult an ERD to learn more about how the previous consultant proposed to design and implement a more normalized data model for Universal Containers. References:
