Analyst

The business analyst is a core team role for projects of any size, from small system updates, to vended product integrations, to enterprise-wide software development. Analysts are essential in defining what a team is building, and ensuring that the resulting product is valuable and effective for the client, from initiation to launch.

Analysts help stakeholders define precise business needs by identifying issues, evaluating possible solutions, and prioritizing features. Stakeholders may start with a rough idea of what they need to accomplish; the analyst helps refine that vision by translating the client’s needs into actionable requirements.

For the project team, the analyst leads by maintaining clear, accurate requirements that are visible and understood by all team members. Analysts work closely with designers to develop system interactions and flows, and iterate these into an effective solution. For developers, analysts might provide some technical specifications, including queries and scripts.
