What is Business Analysis?
¤ Business analysis is the set of tasks and techniques used to work as a liaison among stakeholders
in order to understand the structure, policies, and operations of an organization, and to recommend
solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals.
Liaison: the bridge between the business & other stakeholders, and IT, like a middleman.
BA: mission: goals of the organisation, talks to stakeholders & tries to solve these problems. General function in
whatever area there is a need.
Most problems are not technical.
Technical people are usually not able to solve the non-technical problems.
