What is BA and what BA's do ?
Business analysis is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to: Determine problems and identify business needs, identify and recommend viable solutions for meeting those needs; elicit, document, and manage stakeholder requirements in order to meet business and project objectives; Facilitate the successful implementation of the product, service, or end result of the program or project.

BA Resources
- BAs & PMs - Better Together
The BA’s project role is to help set the scope for the project activity during the early stages of a project. The BA works with the PM, or acts as the PM in the early stages, to uncover the business need, develop requirements, validate requirements and work with subject matter experts to determine the changes to be made. Often, these changes are identified by a review of the as-is processes, creation of the to-be processes and highlighted gaps between the two. The gaps are used to determine what the project should provide. This is what can then be used by the PMs to create a work breakdown structure and a project plan. It can also be used in real-time for agile projects.
- PBA - PMI Certification
A PMI-PBA® certification (PMI® Professional in Business Analysis) is one of the fastest growing in the business analysis and project management industries.
