Needs analysis is the process of identifying and evaluating the requirements, objectives, and goals of a particular task or project. This process helps to ensure that the project or task is aligned with the needs of the organization, the target audience, and other stakeholders.

Needs analysis is a critical process that helps organizations to align their goals and objectives with the needs of their target audience. By conducting a needs analysis, organizations can maximize resources, avoid unnecessary expenses, and make informed decisions that lead to the successful completion of projects and tasks.

How Does It Work?

We start with a one hour discovery session where we review the project, requirements, goals, stakeholder involvement, etc.

Based on that initial conversation, we determine how many more sessions are needed and who needs to be involved. At the end of the needs analysis, we provide the following:

1. An overview of the project and a high level estimate of the work
2. Potential risks and ways to mitigate them
3. Summary dependencies
4. List of stakeholders
5. RACI Matrix
