Business analysts are agents of change. These professionals are curious and seek to understand the perspective of others so they can formulate action plans to solve problems and seize opportunities.

• Requirements analysis

You know that projects are temporary endeavors to create something unique. But before a project can begin, there needs to be a clear set of project requirements - and that's where the BA starts. While the project manager manages the project, the BA gathers the requirements to solve a problem or seize an opportunity. Projects should begin after the BA has explored the scenario, determined the business value, and built a set of requirements for the organization to consider. Without good requirements, it's challenging to have a successful project.
