I think the most important tool for a business analysis are good diagrams. Documents and templates are a ways to expand and elaborate on the core concept, which can be most succinctly expressed as a diagram. If you can come up with a diagram that describes the two scenario: AS-IS, and TO-BE. All the discussion, scope control, documentation, etc can be initiated from just this 2 diagram. The key is to make use of the diagram as a way to communicate / express the core concept. You have to perceive the core concept first. After all, it is called business ANALYSIS for a reason. You must gain insight into bits that other people don't. Otherwise, you're just a document writer. What separates analyst from others? they know what others don't. They can see one step ahead. Document templates are just means to express that knowledge. Think about it. What templates ? I think the most important tool for a business analysis are good diagrams.
