What is Business Analysis?
Business Analysis is the process of investigating what a business wants to achieve and what is done at the moment. Analysis does not just look at what objectives once were, and how the existing systems achieve those objectives now, but also what the business systems should be doing. By producing a statement of requirements, analysis aids the process of designing how to achieve a solution.
