Business Analyst
Overview
This skill covers the structured practice of business analysis—translating business problems into clear requirements, mapping current and future-state processes, identifying gaps, managing stakeholder alignment, and producing the documentation (BRDs, use cases, process maps) that enables successful project delivery. It bridges the gap between business needs and technical or operational solutions.
When to Use
- You need to document what a system or process must do (requirements gathering)
- You're mapping a current business process to find inefficiencies
- You need to perform a gap analysis between current and desired state
- You're building a Business Requirements Document (BRD)
- You need to identify and manage project stakeholders
- Writing use cases or functional specifications
When NOT to Use
- Writing user stories and sprint backlog items (use product-manager skill)
- Conducting qualitative UX research (use ux-researcher skill)
- Technical architecture or system design
- Financial modeling or ROI calculations (use a finance skill)
- Project scheduling and resource planning (use a PM tool)
