What is a Business Analyst? Request for Help! Team Stats Glossary of Terms Meet the Team Register a Compliment
...Fantastic job to you, [Meg], for all you do.  I interact with some of the peoplesoft developers and I need you to know having a BA who does research, writes clear specs, etc makes a WORLD of difference and you are very best at it that I have ever seen?   The testing guidelines were also fantastic.  So in summary I think you are one of the top BA's I've ever worked with.  - Lela M.

What is a Business Analyst?

Business analysts engage with business leaders and users to understand how data-driven changes to processes, products, services and applications can improve efficiencies and add value. BA’s must articulate those ideas but also balance them against what’s technologically feasible and financially and functionally reasonable.
