What Does a Business Analyst Do?

Bridges business needs and technical solutions by analysing processes and defining requirements.

A business analyst (BA) sits between stakeholders and delivery teams — understanding a business problem, mapping current processes, and translating needs into clear requirements that engineers or vendors can build against. They make sure the right thing gets built.

The role is analysis-, documentation- and meeting-based, and works well remotely. Clear communication and structured thinking matter more than any specific tool.
