What is Business Analysis?
It can be interpreted as a process that begins way before the inception of a project but does not end with the same.
The process includes answering questions like:

  • Pre-Project 
    • What problem are we trying to solve?
    • What value we are going to add?
    • What are the requirements?
    • what is the scope?
    • Defining the project structure and determine timeline/milestones.
  • Post-Project
    • What went well?
    • What did not went well?
    • Performance analysis of the solution.
    • Decomposing and documenting Feedbacks from clients. 
    • Incorporating learnings into an incremental version of the product/project

  1. As I found that Business Analysis is performed on a variety of initiatives within an enterprise, also can be performed with a diverse of perspectives. Business Analysis is to define needs and recommend the solutions to the stakeholders. Business Analysis in our organization must be the one who can responsible for discovering, analyzing the information. They are also responsible for preparing and writing the report to the team leader and the stakeholders. They also have to provide the solutions to the IT technical team and have to improve the existing system.
