Business or Process Analyst (BA) |
| | | The term Business or Process Analyst is used to describe a person who practices the discipline of business analysis and is responsible for analysing the business needs of their clients and stakeholders to assist in identifying business issues and propose solutions. Within the systems development life cycle domain, the business analyst typically performs a liaison function between the business side of an enterprise and the providers of services, organising and facilitating meetings and requirements gathering workshops. There is no one defined way to become a business analyst. Often the BA has a technical background, whether having worked as a programmer or engineer, or completing a Computer Science degree. Others may move into a BA role from a business role, their status as a subject matter expert and their analytical skills make them suitable candidates for the role. BA’s may overlap into other roles such as project management or consultant. A Business Analyst does not always work solely in IT or systems related project, increasingly BA skills are required in marketing, finance and business management roles as well. | | "Knowing that everything that was being asked for and delivered added true business value." |
