According to the PMP Exam Content Outline, one of the tasks for managing project work is to provide relevant stakeholders with project information and updates on cost, schedule, scope, and quality1. The business analyst is a relevant stakeholder who needs to learn about the financial and scheduling aspects of project management. Providing the business analyst with access to the financial and scheduling information is the best way to support their learning and involvement in the project. Assigning resources to coach the business analyst may not be feasible or necessary, as the business analyst may have their own methods and preferences for learning. Asking the business analyst to focus on their work allocation for the needs of the project may not address their learning objectives or expectations. Creating reports to inform the business analyst about the schedule and project cost may not be sufficient or timely, as the business analyst may need more detailed or updated information. References:
