The BABOK describes the Business Analysis Plan as a tool a Business Analyst should consider making use of. Some PMO’s also strongly request or recommend you create them and may provide the analyst templates that you are told to complete for each and every project you are assigned to. But are these just templates? Do they really provide any real purpose?  Do you really spend any time writing them and sending them out for approval?
Or-- do you feel it would be a better use of your time to grab that second caramel latte instead filling out another stupid PMO form?
