The Business Analyst(BA) team converts corporate strategy into the processes, data, and systems that run the business. As the team’s Business Analyst, you partner with the Business Architecture to turn broad objectives into clear, actionable change. You frame ambiguous problems as specific capability gaps, validate that proposed solutions align with enterprise standards, and guide those solutions from concept through delivery to measurable results.
A core part of your mandate is reporting and performance transparency. You design and maintain executive dashboards and periodic reports that track value-stream health, initiative ROI, and architecture roadmap progress. By blending real-time operational metrics with financial and risk indicators, you enable leaders to make data-driven decisions and course-correct quickly.
Day-to-day, you map current-state processes, expose bottlenecks, quantify costs or risks, and build evidence-based business cases that secure funding. Once initiatives are approved, you decompose requirements into epics and user stories, facilitate cross-functional design sessions, and ensure delivery teams reuse proven reference patterns. Throughout implementation, you monitor KPIs—cycle time, cost-to-serve, revenue uplift—and feed insights back into the roadmap. Within months, your reports will underpin steering-committee decisions; within a year, business units will routinely engage the EBA team early, confident in your ability to deliver scalable, integrated solutions that accelerate strategic goals.
What You Will Do- Map current-state capabilities, value streams, data flows, and systems using BPMN or similar notation.
- Identify gaps against target architecture; quantify cost, risk, and customer-experience impacts.
- Facilitate workshops, interviews, and direct process observations to capture business needs.
- Translate findings into epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria traceable to strategic objectives.
- Build ROI-focused cost-benefit analyses that forecast value creation, savings, and risk mitigation.
- Sequence initiatives into an architecture roadmap aligned with enterprise priorities and funding cycles.
- Design, automate, and maintain executive dashboards (Power BI / Tableau) that track initiative health, KPI trends, and realized benefits.
- At project close-out, calculate actual value delivered, compare it with initial ROI forecasts, and highlight variance drivers in concise reports for steering committees.
- Evaluate solution designs for compliance with requirements, architecture standards, and reference patterns.
- Perform detailed gap analyses, document findings, and recommend corrective actions.
- Support agile planning, sprint execution, reviews, and retrospectives; manage backlogs and oversee UAT, training, and go-live readiness.
- Present proposals to architecture review boards; document design decisions and rationale.
- Monitor implementation health (scope, schedule, budget, risk) and escalate issues early.
- Plan and deliver stakeholder communications, workshops, and training sessions.
- Track post-launch performance, capture lessons learned, and feed insights into continuous-improvement backlogs.
