Understanding the work

Work means the system we develop for the business owner to run their business. This system includes every tangible and intangible thing that is used to develop the good, service or information for the owner. For example human task, software system and even the photocopiers.

However, the product you intend to build must improve the owner’s work because it will do some part of work for the owner (in some cases all the work). This could be any kind of work depending on the business of the owner.

Why Business Analysts Should develop USE CASES?

Use cases are very beneficial to the Business Analyst as these help in:

1. Ensuring that the delivered products are working properly
2. Prioritizing work
3. Discovering the gaps between requirements and the delivered product
4. Understanding business processes
5. Improving communication among the team members
6. Identifying all the manual processes that can be converted into automated processes
7. Encouraging common agreements about work requirements
8. Identifying, clarifying and organizing business requirements

Responsibilities of Business Analysts

Talking to people a  prime responsibilities as if business analysts will not communicate with all team members, they will get all time reports regularly or they will not be aware that what is happening  in the organisation.

Understanding what they say and what they don't say because it is very important to be respectful and cooperative with the team.

Determine what they need and what they don't need because like completing the requirements is one of the thing to make the projects and missions successful.

Learning from people who do the work makes any kind of work or project a lot easier because we can already learn in things earlier which we are going to learn in future that saves time and money both.

Interpreting the work refers to getting the work done with quality and making sure that each and everything is going correctly and in sequence.

Identifying better ways to do the work makes the work more efficient and reduces or save the time required to do that particular work which even makes the quality better.

Documenting all the results refers to keeping the record of all work done in the organisation and achievements of all workers as well.
