The term Business Analyst (BA) is used to describe a person
who practices the discipline of business analysis. A
business analyst or "BA" is responsible for analyzing the
business needs of clients to help identify business problems
and propose solutions. Within the systems development life
cycle domain, the business analyst typically performs a
liaison function between the business side of an enterprise
and the providers of services to the enterprise. Common
alternative titles are business analyst, systems analyst,
and functional analyst, although some organizations may
differentiate between these titles and corresponding
responsibilities.
The International Institute of Business Analysis has the
following definition of the role: "A business analyst works
as a liaison among stakeholders in order to elicit, analyze,
communicate and validate requirements for changes to
business processes, policies and information systems. The
business analyst understands business problems and
opportunities in the context of the requirements and
recommends solutions that enable the organization to achieve
its goals." The Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK)
describes common activities, tasks and deliverables of the
BA.[1]
The British Computer Society proposes the following
definition of a business analyst: "An internal consultancy
role that has responsibility for investigating business
systems, identifying options for improving business systems
and bridging the needs of the business with the use of IT."
