Profiling the best fit solutions for different Business atmosphere
would be one of the best aftermaths for a perfect Business Analyst. I have been
stacking myself into this career close to half a decade, though my experience
are an inexperience what the experienced mammoths call, but I have learned how
a technology can play a significant role in Businesses and Enterprises. Consulting is an important orientation that a
Business Analyst can provide for the consumers particularly when an Enterprise
looks for a far better solution preferred over the existing one. His/hers view
should negotiate from the baseline for outlining
a solution to the security aspects, interoperability, Domain, User
Administration, customizability and complete extent-ability, these aspects
should fit for Web solution to Applications running over the Web or domain
specific applications.
From the conceptualization to the prototyping, an UI and Web designs
plays a crucial role in giving comfort to the clients, I would say a perfect,
principal UI layout with all proper standards can be the first step in
acceptance for a project to move ahead. A Business Analyst should forte from
the client location mesmerizing and capturing properly all the business flows, disciplines,
existing flaws, handshake methods, repetitive steps, authorities, user roles
and most importantly the systems boundaries. Once all these gives a complete picture
then the BA can start building the Business Plan along other required
documentation for both the Client and Development cycles.
As discussed earlier the BA’s most strategic input as a consultant
should be a parallel input throughout the complete Software development lifecycle’s
of a project. These inputs should not restrict a BA only from the stakeholder
but also from the multilevel users who actually use the system. Keep in mind
this would suit for most of the Agile development projects where the actual
requirement change over the time. BA’s should always have a lookout for the
best solutions available in the market to ensure that what they deliver have
the maximum throughput whenever compared.
Coming to the development lifecycle a BA should have a timely
lookout to ensure that the product developed is in phase with the requirement analyzed
from the client end, over which he should also ensure periodic meetings to show
the clients or customers the stages of development happening at the development
center. Every meeting would definitely move with certain change requirement
accordingly with the client, this the BA’s should ensure to properly document
the Versions and change management are captured.
Ensuring a promised deliverable is what holds the fidelity of
every Business Analyst. For this the BA’s would need to closely work with
different designated co-workers comforting them and along with the client’s
requirement are met. Working with deadlines and dates are yet other critical
events, at this time BA’s as a Consultant should go hand-in-hand with Project
Managers and Technical Leads who actually ensure to deliver the project in
time. Executing Test cases are once again an imperative task for a BA, for this
a BA has a variety of options to test the applications I am not talking much on
this since Testing is once again a multitalented activity which builds the
confidentiality for the complete system build.
So here’s to conclude, being just a BA on any project is a mere
task but providing consulting in delivering the best solution and keeping up in
par with the global needs is what a complete Business Analyst profession is all
about.
