Business Analysis

Before working to deliver successful software solution to a client, it is important to start with the business need for the project. At OA this is achieved by one of our experienced Business Analysts consulting with a range of people within your business to gain an understanding of what that business does, and what it aims to do, along with challenges and opportunities.

Through this process, we seek to identify, document and agree a business requirement and scope, which we then turn into a solution design for our implementation team to fulfil.

Obviously, the size and scope of projects may vary from extending an existing solution through to building an entirely new solution from scratch, or complex migrations/data integrations or a mix of many sub projects. From the outset, we seek to identify the level of up-front business analysis and documentation required for your business type and governance structure.

Increasingly we are finding that not all projects are suited to the traditional, so called waterfall metaphor of requirements gathering, design, development, testing, delivery etc. We realise that for some a more ‘agile’ like approach suits where iterative cycles of consult/deliver are followed against an overall prioritised backlog of features and against a set budget.

We consult to consult – reviewing how you would like to proceed and discussing a suitable approach before we start.
