Hi,
Can anyone help with the steps needed to establish a BA function in a top tier blue chip company. Is it different from the steps needed in a mid/small size company.
thanks,
Praveen
Hi Praveen,
What do you mean by establishing a BA function? Do you mean the process of creating the Business Analyst role within that company? I would have to guess that in any blue chip company the BA functiona already exists. It might not be formalized with a specific job title but there surely would already be practitioners doing business analysis.

In terms of an Analyst the key skills would be :
Collaboration
Communication
Analysis methods and techniques
Problem Solving
Information gathering methods and techniques
Recent experience of the Business domain you are working in would help and Use Cases really are an excellent way to define requirements / functions to a very detailed level. Sometimes the Job titles differ , Business Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, Requirements Analyst etc. but the main focus for an Analyst is as you say is to develop a 'Clear understanding of the Functional as well as non-functional requirements of the project.' This should be the BA's focus throughout the project.
