  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Business Analyst(BA). A range of tasks to support project managers and the realisation of business requirements. This includes completing documentation, researching, interacting with both stakeholders and colleagues working on the projects. My role has also extended beyond BA into enterprise architecture, looking at business processes and their link into technology systems. Role definition wasn't clear from the start and remains very vague.
