The role of the Business Analyst is to focus on the business, as opposed to the technology, side of things.
For clarification, please see the analysis / design entries in the Thesaurus.
In the enterprise methodology, Business Analysis and Business Architecture are positioned on the following aspects:
* political: how do you analyze and specify the objectives? Collect and formulate the requirements? Capture the vocabularies and derive knowledge?
- semantic: how do you formalize the knowledge about the business fundamentals?
- pragmatic: how do you describe and prescribe the enterprise activities?
- geographic: how do you physically distribute these activities?
What Praxeme brings to business analysts:
* the main contribution is scoping, which refers to all techniques of expression prior to modeling;
- Praxeme considers that responsibility for the semantic and pragmatic models falls to the analysts. This raises questions about modeling competences and the level of formalization required.
