“Other Duties as Assigned”
As discussed by my fellow team members, Business Analysts (B.A.’s) work to make sure all business requirements are acquired and of course documented. This is a very broad, almost generic-like description of the roles and duties a B.A. does. In order to encompass all the duties and roles B.A.’s do, often the phrase “other duties as assigned” is placed in many job descriptions. What does this phrase really mean and how can we paint a better picture of a business analyst? I researched and discovered a bit further and found numerous areas where B.A.s also do. This can be showcased by the following:
• Strategic Planning: where they facilitate the creation of a plan
• Process Modeling-Define the current state and create a future state
• Change Management- Define and create roles/responsibilities and the transition of people into the new roles
• Facilitation- Lead meetings
• Documentation – Record findings and meetings
• Training- Prepare business staff for the new systems
• Research
• Assist and work along project management
• Testing
• Cost/benefit analysis
• Etc.
As one can see this is a lot more than just a plain, cookie-cutter description of a business analyst. As we take off on our journey we will see and discover additional roles B.A.s take on. We will then focus these ideas and explain them while providing examples to how it pertains to our business of choice, Tim Horton’s.
