You sit closer to IT than a classic BA: take business needs, turn them into a functional solution, and specify how applications, APIs and data should behave so squads can build and test.
𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗔𝗬
• Functional analysis and solution design — UI, business logic, data, integrations
• High-level and detailed flow diagrams (process, sequence, end-to-end)
• Three Amigos with the development team (and testers) before build
• API and service-contract specification, aligned with architecture and design governance
• Enterprise data modelling (EDM) — conceptual and logical models that fit the client's data landscape
• Implementable specs with Java / Spring delivery teams (functional counterpart, not the coder by default)
• Follow-through: functional integration testing, implementation, production support where needed
• Where relevant: 𝗖𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗟 (e.g. Micro Focus) on insurance / legacy platforms; event-driven design (𝗞𝗮𝗳𝗸𝗮); API
𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬
