Business Analyst Intel

Description

The Business Analysts (BA's) works as the primary interface between the customer and technical team. Working on both small and larger projects they will be working in teams with End Customers, Application Developers, Testing Analysts, and Project Managers, with some expectation to perform some Project management functions on smaller projects.
BA's gather and clarify business requirements with the customer to understand the business problem. They must understand the customer's business processes to identify the value drivers associated with the project. During the build phase of the Program Life-cycle or Software Development Life Cycle, the BA may also perform testing as a quality check to ensure business and data quality requirements have been addressed in the solution. When involved in testing, BA's plan and execute User Acceptance Testing by creating test scripts; they also coordinate testing efforts with end users. In the Deployment phase of the application, project, or program, BA's are often responsible for coordinating end user training and facilitating Train-the-Trainer sessions.
BA's must have strong communication and customer engagement skills given their role in explaining and clarifying issues with the customer and translating business requirements into technical requirements for the project team. Some BA's perform specialized tasks in addition to their core job responsibilities. For example, BA's may consult on tools, systems, services, or application integration; provide input to system design; make decisions for functionality and configuration; configure applications; gauge and measure data quality levels; and/or provide production support and troubleshooting.
