The next section focuses on the prospects for the analysis
of business IT industry, where most services. BA must have some form of
requirements management tool to record whether a simple spreadsheet or a
complex issue.
Business Requirements
(Project Initiation Document), which are necessary services
and quality measures. They are generally required to report results of
department stores, but may not fulfill the specific functions of the system, he
expressed. Specific design elements are usually outside the scope of this
document, although design standards may be cited.
* Example: To improve the readability of project plans.
Functional Requirements to describe what is necessary for a
system, process, product or service to meet business needs. Note that the
business needs is often divided into sub-business requirements and many
functional requirements. They are often referred to as system requirements,
although some features could be based on non-manual system, as the collection
of notes or work instructions.

guidance for planning a project.
2. The system allows the user to enter free text notes the
project plan, up to 255 characters.

services, the needs of stakeholders must be interpreted correctly. May This
objective also reflect how the product is developed, developed to define and
describe how test cases should be formulated.

Benefits of participation of business analysts in software
projects
The role of the BA is the key in software development
projects. Communicate directly with a provision in organizations where there is
no formal structure or process, the press and developers together. This can be
a problem: the objective of the company owner is very quickly what they want,
and the goal of developers is to tell the business owner what they want, when
he / she can give him / her.
This led to the creation of changes in the void that will
not necessarily take into account the needs of all users of the system. There
is rarely a detailed definition of requirements, and many times, can make the
real reason for the request is not business sense. There is a tendency not to
value long-term strategic objectives for the company on information technology
and communication to achieve. The business analyst can adjust the structure and
formalizing the requirements of this process, may also require greater
foresight in the press the most important.

of all kinds: business analyst, analysts, business process, risk analysts,
systems analysts were. Ultimately, a good project manager are the business
analysts who refuse to communication barriers between stakeholders and
developers.
