What is business analysis - Slideshare

Business analysis has evolved over the last few decades from a technical role focused on system development into a core business function. It involves identifying business needs, problems, and opportunities in order to recommend relevant solutions. The field became prominent as businesses increasingly relied on technology but lacked experience planning IT projects. This led to costly, unusable systems. Business analysts bridge the gap between technical and business perspectives to define requirements that deliver value. The profession continues growing with demand for skills in process improvement, change management, and strategic planning.
