Role
The business analyst is focused on the customer’s needs, as well as on the development organization’s ability to fill those needs with a software solution. The business analyst often is a line-of-business departmental expert who defines and tests business rules and policies.
The business analyst identifies customer and business needs, captures requirements and creates business use cases. The analyst then models the business use cases using IBM WebSphere Business Modeler and looks for areas of optimization, especially those that can be automated by software. Once the application has been constructed by the application developers, the business analyst may use IBM WebSphere Business Monitor to monitor the performance and cost of the business process to identify opportunities for improvements and further optimizations.
