Simulation is the imitation of something real. Within Business Analysis, simulation can be used to imitate a new or changed process. Applying simulation can:
- validate design and process assumptions;
- provide an opportunity to rehearse responses to certain process conditions;
- assess the readiness of a group to implement a change.
Model Office is one technique for simulating a process. It is comprised of planning, preparing and executing steps. Model Office can be applied with or without technology.
