Depending on the nature of the organization, a business analyst will study an organization and come up with the business process solutions, gap reviews, functional requirements and needs, the market review, needs analysis, and several reports of an organization.

Business analysts just like conventional journalists, they're the theorist in practical business. They know everything within their business area of specialty/interest but unfortunately they lack insight about that same business area - they're at best described as speculators in business. A typical business analyst is what I term an articulate incompetent. LOL.

Well, my submissions above notwithstanding, they're important and integral part of every flourishing business out there. The insightful CEO's and COO do rely on their theoretical provisions to make informed progressive business decisions.

You said you're here to learn, yet you're being antagonistic. If he has used terms you don't understand, simply ask him to break it down instead of claiming he has said nothing.

shocked
A business analyst is someone that gets information from competitors,

Analyzes the market potentials, it's risk, weakness and strengths.

Formulates strategies and thinks outside the box in order to help the business gain competitive advantage.

It is the job of the business analyst to consult oracles, get charms, bury amulets and visit prayer homes.

You were speaking so well until you chose to derail your own comment. Quite sad undecided

They are supposed to be a part of a typical development team. They discuss with clients and analyse their needs and come up with requirements for a particular project. They understand thjngs from the business process perspective, and it is expected that they have the required domain knowledge required for specific projects. They can be an intermediary between the business and the technical team.. they are involved in planning and requirements gathering in a team.

Though i have written some post concerning this very topic on my blog but to answer your question am going to be listing one or two point you must bear in mind if you want to be counted as a successful business analyst. Bear with me is going to be long somehow just try and read through.


The true is that the role of a business analyst can be very difficult to some an extent. First you must wade through the mass of information presented to determine the underlying problems. This information may or may not be correct. You must as a business analyst research to comprehend the true situation of the business. The information supplied to you as a business analyst is given from many perspectives. Opinions can influence how one perceives the related issues. At times, the opinions can add unrelated information which only complicates the role.

Problems can occur for the analyst when persons with the business know how try to explain what must be done. The role of the business analyst is to understand what is the desired outcome. You are to listen and put into perspective what is being relayed. Your role as business analyst is that of a problem solver. Understanding both aspects as a user and as one affected by the application will allow you as business analyst to perform your role.

Another one is your role as a business analyst is to merge the Information Technology (IT) department with the business departments. You must be able to separate the separate the individual teams while still maintaining a uniform team management system. Teaching these two teams how to work to overcome obstacles and strive for completion of a goal is a main directive for the business analyst. You will act as a liaison between the two. Performed correctly will result in project completion. Success will be achieved.

Remember you must not jump ahead to the solution without utilizing the proper steps. A good business analyst will be skilled in explaining the structure of each step and co-ordinate them with each department. This will reassure management the job is being done in a timely manner.

The role of the business analyst is not to jump to the end and start with the solution. This will only result in failure. Assessing the needs to determine what is actually required will allow the business analyst to implement the steps to success. There are times when management will think otherwise. The business analyst should try to make all parties understand what is important and what is not relevant. This ensures all information needed to identify the solution has been presented. In the end, the business analyst will be able to determine if the solution will meet the requirements designed in the project proposal. This will ensure success for the business analyst and the company.
