Requirements Health of the requirements set and backlog
Requirements by status
Backlog readiness
What it tells a BA: high churn or ambiguity means elicitation was incomplete or scope is unstable; low traceability means some requirements may ship untested or tests exist with no business need. Refinement depth under 2 sprints risks the team pulling unready work.
Stakeholders Engagement, sign-off and open decisions
Power / interest grid
Open questions & decisions
What it tells a BA: low sign-off rates and aging decisions are leading indicators of schedule slip. The power-interest grid sets how often and how deeply each stakeholder is engaged.
Process & business performance KPI scorecard, as-is vs to-be, funnel and trend
Sales conversion funnel
Claim cycle time vs target (days)
What it tells a BA: the scorecard proves whether the solution changed the business, not just whether it shipped. The funnel shows where conversion drops (Qualified → Proposal is the weakest step here) and the trend shows whether gains are holding.
Value & business case Benefits realization, ROI, NPV and payback
Planned vs realized benefit ($K, cumulative by quarter)
What it tells a BA: benefits realization closes the loop on the business case. Realized at 87% of plan through Q3 means the solution is working but adoption or process change is lagging.
Quality & UAT Acceptance testing and change control
Requirements-related defects by root cause
Change requests by impact
What it tells a BA: defects caused by requirements (rather than code) point back to elicitation and review quality. Many high-impact change requests signal the original scope was not well understood.
Data & analytics Data quality and report adoption
Report views (last 30 days)
What it tells a BA: decisions are only as good as the data. Low timeliness or accuracy undermines KPI reporting; low report usage means the analytics deliverable is not meeting a real need.
Gap analysis & MoSCoW prioritization
Requirements by MoSCoW
What it tells a BA: gap analysis turns the current vs future state into a scoped work list. Must-haves should stay at or below about 60% of effort so the release keeps room to absorb change; here they are 43% of items.
