Overview
Business analysis is the bedrock of business change and automated system development. The task of the business analyst is to uncover the real business, and communicate it in such a way that all stakeholders can reach a consensus on the best way to improve the business.
Business analysis is a combination of process and data modelling, systemic thinking, innovating, presenting ideas, and several other skills. In short business analysis is about uncovering the true business needs and finding solutions to make the business work better.
