Let's begin our discussion with E-commerce jargon. Can anyone tell me what Cart Abandonment means?
It's when a customer adds items to their cart but doesn't complete the purchase.
Exactly! Remember that term as it plays a crucial role in understanding user behavior. How about SKU?
SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit; it's just a product identifier.
Right on! Now, regarding KPIs, what would you say the Conversion Rate represents?
It’s the percentage of users who complete their purchase.
Good! Keep in mind how these terms affect your analysis. Remember: Jargon in E-commerce includes Cart Abandonment and SKU, and key KPIs are Conversion Rate and Average Order Value.
Now let's move to the healthcare domain. What is an EMR?
It stands for Electronic Medical Record; it’s used to keep patient data digitally.
Excellent! And what about TAT or turnaround time?
It refers to how quickly lab results are returned.
Correct! If I asked about the Patient Wait Time, what would you say?
It’s the average time a patient waits to be seen.
Right! Academic terms like EMR and TAT, along with KPIs like Patient Wait Time and Bed Occupancy Rate, are vital in healthcare analysis.
Let's now dive into the Banking sector. What does KYC stand for?
It means Know Your Customer; it’s a process for verifying customer identities.
Absolutely! And can anyone tell me what an NPA is?
That would be a Non-Performing Asset, meaning a loan that hasn’t been repaid.
Exactly! Now, regarding KPIs, let’s discuss the Loan Approval Rate.
It’s the percentage of loan applications that are approved.
Great job! Essential terms like KYC, NPA, and KPIs such as Loan Approval Rate and NPA Ratio are crucial for banking analysis.
In E-commerce we find, Cart Abandonment is unkind; customers leave the cart behind, lost sales hard to unwind.
Once, a shopper added a pair of boots to their cart, excited but distracted, they didn’t finalize their purchase. Later, the shop saw their Cart Abandonment rise, a sign they needed to simplify checkout.
For remembering KPIs: C, A, R - Conversion, AOV, Retention.

Understanding domain-specific jargon is crucial for effective communication as a Business Analyst.
This section explores essential jargon, key performance indicators (KPIs), and service level agreements (SLAs) across three domains: E-commerce, Healthcare, and Banking. Familiarity with these terms enhances a Business Analyst's ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders.
In the domain of Business Analysis, effective communication is paramount. This section highlights important jargon relevant to three vital sectors: E-commerce, Healthcare, and Banking. Understanding these terminologies—in conjunction with key performance indicators (KPIs) and service level agreements (SLAs)—is essential for Business Analysts (BAs) to establish rapport with stakeholders and improve project outcomes.
The E-commerce sector utilizes specific jargon such as Cart Abandonment, which refers to users who add products to their cart but do not finalize the purchase, and SKU, a unique identifier for products. Key performance indicators include the Conversion Rate, which measures the percentage of users completing purchases, and Average Order Value (AOV). Service level agreements outline expectations, like dispatching orders within 24 hours.
In Healthcare, terminology like EMR (Electronic Medical Record) and TAT (Turnaround Time for lab results) is prevalent. Core KPIs such as the Patient Wait Time and Bed Occupancy Rate help gauge service quality. SLAs here set standards—like confirming appointments within five minutes.
The Banking sector employs terms like KYC (Know Your Customer) and CIBIL Score (credit score). Important KPIs include the Loan Approval Rate and the NPA Ratio (measuring the percentage of non-performing loans). SLAs ensure, for instance, loan decisions are made within 48 hours.
Overall, familiarizing oneself with this domain-specific vernacular supports BAs in measuring success effectively and facilitating productive stakeholder engagement.
