What is a Business Process Analyst?
A business analyst (BA) is responsible for analyzing the business needs of clients and stakeholders to help identify business problems and propose solutions. The role of the Business Analyst is to apply analytical skills to business requests (which are often high-level or lacking in detail) and communicate these business wants/needs in a clear and unambiguous manner. A business process analyst is responsible for mapping current ‘AS IS’ business processes and often for running workshops to help gather revised future ‘TO BE ‘ processes that are improved or more efficient in some manner. The role of a business process analyst is also a part of Business process reengineering or Business Process Redesign, Business Transformation and Process Change Management.
