Required Skills

• Good knowledge in Mortgage banking concepts
• Eliciting requirements from the Business Unit (BU) - In an agile team, the developers will also participate in this exercise.
• Document the requirements and keep the documentation updated as and when there is any change in the requirements. - In an agile team, some of the senior developers will actually do this but the BA is still responsible to make sure that the requirements are up to date.
• Analysis of requirements and translate business needs to developers if needed. - Again in an agile team the developers are supposed to ask any questions that they may have, directly to the BU but not all developers are able to do this in a way that the BU can understand. In those cases Client will step in and do it for them.
• Translate technical issues to a format that Business Unit can understand. - Same explanation as Point #3.
• Writing Functional test cases for the requirements. - Development of code and the writing of test cases go hand in hand. When requirements are gathered, the BA should be writing them in such a way that test cases can be written for those requirements. We could use "Condition of Satisfaction/s" for each requirement which could be translated to test cases.
• For modifications in existing systems they should be able to come up with the As-is and To-Be Flow Charts/Visio Diagrams.
• Senior Business Analysts should be able to scope any new projects with the help of a Senior Developer.
• The actual testing can be done by testers if we have them in the project but the BA should be available to help them in case of questions and can even assist in testing. I suggest that until we are mature enough in our SDLC methods, Client should be helping the testers with the testing.
