BA/SA/BSA Role / Grade / Level classifications 

Hi all,

I am a Business Systems Analyst for a small - medium sized company with a Business Systems team of two (myself and another BSA working under a general ICT manager) and we are looking at trying to implement a role grading classification system. By this, I mean a clarification of the responsibilities and accountabilities of a BSA at the various levels of responsibility and accountability (e.g. Junior BSA, BSA, Senior BSA).

Whilst this type of information is readily available in the Systems Administration side of ICT (provided by SAGE), it is very difficult to find in the Business Analysis or Systems Analysis areas. The IIBA has some brief information, but I was wondering if anybody in a larger organisation that actually have staff at varying levels of accountability would be prepared to share their "role descriptions" for these various levels of employment.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I'd love to hear myself from folks out there as to your own definition and responsibilities for these various roles/titles given to the BA.

But beyond the buzzwords, these two concepts are powerful tools to drive clarity, consistency, and quality in our work. Definition of Ready ensures a user story is truly ready for development. It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
