PERSON SPECIFICATION

• Analytical Skills & Process Understanding: Ability to analyse complex business processes and data to identify issues, trends, and opportunities. The role must be adept at breaking down workflows and interpreting data (e.g. process metrics, reports) to support data-driven recommendations.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential. The BA must be able to communicate complex ideas in simple terms, whether drafting technical documentation or discussing changes with non-technical business stakeholders. Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills are needed to build consensus, manage expectations, and ensure different parties (business sponsors, end users, IT teams, vendors, etc.) remain engaged and informed.
• Agile and ITIL Knowledge: Practical experience working in an Agile development environment is an advantage. The role will offer fast track training in Agile and ITIL systems, facilitating Agile practices like backlog grooming, sprint planning, and iterative release cycles. You will become familiar with Scrum or Kanban frameworks and the ability to create and manage user stories is expected. Training will be provided leading to a foundation qualification in ITIL service management,

Stakeholder Interactions (Business Sponsors & Teams)

This Business Analyst will have a high degree of interaction with business sponsors and various cross-functional teams. Business sponsors are typically senior stakeholders or process owners who want to achieve specific improvements; the BA’s job is to understand their vision and translate it into requirements.

The BA will work closely with these sponsors to clarify the business case and priorities, ensuring the proposed solutions truly meet the underlying business needs. Equally, the BA collaborates day-to-day with technical teams (developers, QA, project managers) to communicate requirements and reconcile any gaps between business expectations and technical constraints.

Typical Deliverables & Success Measures

A Business Analyst’s work results in tangible deliverables that guide project execution and measure success after implementation. Typical BA deliverables include:

• Documentation of Requirements and Processes: Comprehensive Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) or functional requirement specifications, detailing what the business needs and why. In Agile environments, this often takes the form of a prioritised product backlog with well-defined epics and user stories that include acceptance criteria. The BA may also produce process models or flowcharts illustrating current vs. target processes, use case diagrams, and impact assessments of proposed changes.
• Business Cases & Feasibility Analyses: For larger initiatives, the BA might develop a business case document outlining the proposed solution’s benefits, costs, and risks, helping business sponsors decide whether to proceed. They could also prepare feasibility studies or option analyses, evaluating alternative solutions and their implications on technology and processes.
• Evaluate Plans & User Acceptance Criteria: Often, BAs contribute to the creation of UAT plans or test cases tied to each requirement, to ensure that delivered solutions can be verified against the original needs. They may also compile training materials or user guides for new processes or systems, facilitating smooth handover to end-users.
