  • What is a Business Analyst?


    A business analyst (BA) is a professional who helps organisations to understand their business needs and translate those needs into requirements for IT solutions.


    When integrated within our PMaaS framework, business analysts play a vital role in driving project success. Their ability to gather, analyse, and translate data into actionable insights serves as a guiding force for effective decision-making.


    By understanding your goals and aligning project objectives accordingly, our business analysts ensure that your projects are properly planned, scoped and executed on time and within budget.

    The Process


    Business analysts act as a bridge between stakeholders, project teams and management, facilitating clear communication, managing expectations, and mitigating risks throughout the project lifecycle. Their ability to identify and resolve conflicts, anticipate potential challenges, and adapt to changing business requirements helps to keep projects on track and ensure smooth and consistent delivery.


    The steps in our process include:


    • Understand the business: BAs analyse your business in order to identify its needs. This includes understanding the current business processes, strategic goals and the current challenges you are facing


    • Translate business needs into requirements: Once the BA understands your business, they will translate those needs into requirements for IT solutions. This involves identifying the features and functionality that the IT solutions should have


    • Communicate with stakeholders: BAs need to communicate with a variety of stakeholders, including business users, IT professionals and project managers. This involves explaining the business needs, the requirements for the IT solution and the progress of the project


    • Manage the requirements process: BAs manage the requirements process, which includes gathering requirements, documenting requirements and managing changes to requirements

    Benefits


    • Improved communication: BAs are skilled communicators who can bridge the gap between business users and IT professionals. They can help to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the project is delivered on time and within budget


    • Increased accuracy: BAs are trained to gather and analyse requirements in a structured and systematic way. This helps to ensure that the requirements are accurate and complete, which can reduce the risk of project failure


    • Better decision-making: BAs help organisations make better decisions about IT projects by providing them with a clear understanding of the business needs. This ensures that projects are aligned with your strategic goals


    • Reduced risk: BAs can help to reduce the risk of project failure by identifying and mitigating risks early in the project lifecycle. This can help to save time and money in the long run


    • Increased efficiency: BAs help to improve the efficiency of IT projects by streamlining the requirements gathering and documentation process. This can help to reduce the time and resources required to deliver your project


    • Stakeholder satisfaction: BAs help to increase stakeholder satisfaction by ensuring that their needs are met and they are informed of progress


    • Improved compliance: BAs help you to comply with industry regulations by ensuring that IT solutions meet the requirements of those regulations
