BASIC FUNCTION:The business analyst's primary objective is helping businesses implement technology solutions in a cost-effective way by determining the requirements of a project or program, and communicating them clearly to stakeholders.RESPONSIBILITIES:- Understanding process or business requirements of the customers and translating them to software requirements.- Evaluating the information gathered through workshops and business process description.- Documenting and analyzing the required information and data.- Prepare detailed flow charts and diagrams outlining systems capabilities and processes.- Acting as an interface between business units, technology teams and other supporting teams.- Requirements are at the core of developing solutions. Defining, analyzing and documenting requirements evolve from a business analyst's creative process, and are intended to show what a system can do.Here are the business analyst's key roles in defining and managing requirements:- Extract requirements - Requirements play a key part in IT systems. Incomplete or improper requirements usually lead to project failure. A business analyst determines a project's requirements by extracting them from business or government policies, as well as from current and future users, through interaction and research.- Constrain requirements - While complete requirements are essential to project success, the focus must remain on core business needs, and not users' personal preferences, functions related to trends or outdated processes, or other non-essential modifications.- Organize requirements - Requirements often originate from disparate, sometimes opposing sources. The business analyst must organize requirements into related categories to effectively manage and communicate them. Requirements are sorted into types according to their source and applicability. Proper organization prevents project requirements from becoming overlooked, and leads to optimum use of time and budgets.- Translate requirements - The business analyst must be adept at translating business requirements to technical requirements. This includes using powerful analysis and modeling tools to match strategic business objectives with practical technical solutions.- Safeguard requirements - At regular intervals in the project life cycle, the business analyst safeguards or protects the business and user's needs by verifying functionality, accuracy and completeness of the requirements against the original initiating documents. Safeguarding minimizes risk by ensuring requirements are being met before investing further in system development.- Simplify requirements - The business analyst emphasizes simplicity and ease of use at all times, but especially in implementation. Meeting business objectives is the goal of every IT project; business analysts identify and avoid extraneous activities that do not solve the problem or help reach the objective.- Verify requirements - The business analyst is most knowledgeable about use cases; therefore they continually verify the requirements and reject implementations that do not advance business objectives.
