17. Definition
Business Analyst & Project Manager
The business analyst role is often
seen as a communication bridge
between IT and the business
stakeholders.
Business analysts must be great
verbal and written communicators,
tactful diplomats, problem solvers,
thinkers and analyzers - with the
ability to engage with stakeholders
to understand and respond to their
needs in rapidly changing business
environments.
This can often involve dealing with
very senior stakeholders and can
often involve challenging and
questioning to ensure that value for
money is achieved from IT
developments.
A business analyst does not need to
have an IT background although it
can help to have some basic
understanding of how IT systems
work.
The PM does not actually need to
perform any of the project tasks.
But they need to ensure that all the
tasks necessary to deliver the project
are included on the project plan with
associated timelines, delivery dates
and dependencies and ,most
important of all, make sure that the
tasks are completed. according to the
plan
The intent of the PM is that project
managers take responsibility to
ensure activities for collecting
requirements are covered in the
project management plan and
monitored along with the project.

entire solution requirements lifecycle from
understanding the business need to ensuring
that the delivered solution meets business
needs and adds business value

difficulties not from lack of technical
expertise but from an a failure to gather,
understand,analyse and manage business
requirements, and convert them into realistic
achievable solution specifications
Projects are all too frequently initiated and
solution design and implementation started
before there is a clear understanding of the
business need
High tolerance and acceptance of inadequate
and ever-changing requirements leading to
requirements and scope creep

the business

Well defined and structured
requirements
Requirements trade-off analysis and
requirements feasibility and
risk analysis; and cost-benefit analysis

combination of technical, analytical,
business and leadership skills
