The business analyst must encourage feedback.  He or she must understand just what the customer is wanting, even if they do not know themselves.  The customer may know what he or she wants the project to accomplish.  They may know how they want something to run.  The customer just may not know how to say it.  He or she may collect data imperative to the project program.  It is the business analyst’s job to determine if the data is even relevant.  He or she is the liaison in this relationship. He or she must have good customer relations skills.  The business analyst must speak the customer’s language.

There may be information the business analyst must gather from the end user to determine if the needs assessment performed by the stakeholders is viable.  In some cases it is not usable information or may be off the target scope.  The end user will know better what will make the web design complete.  The options available for the end user may be overlooked by the stakeholders.  The business analyst will be able to ascertain from surveys and site inspections what is needed to satisfy all parties involved.

Many of today’s corporations utilize a big part of their budget on improvements in operations.  The target is the bottom line.  What they fail to realize is this can and will drive customers away.  Targeting the needs of the customer is first and foremost in any business.  The same holds true with business analysts.

When going in to trouble shoot a system, the business analyst becomes a production manager.  If he or she does not put the needs of the customer first, the project will undoubtedly fail.  Listening to the customer to determine what is needed and desired is the start of a good relationship.  When the business analyst fails to listen the entire project could not only start on the wrong foot but end in disaster as well.

Small business owners may not think they need a business analyst.  Small businesses are sometimes caught up in trying to survive and overlook a key element in their success.  The business analyst can actually come in and determine what the small business owner can do to expand  his or her business.  The small business owner can benefit just as much from a business analyst as a large corporation.  There may be times when the business analyst sees the big picture when the small business owner can only see the bottom line.  The new small business may not feel the added expense of a business analyst is worth justifying.  In fact this is just the case.
