Tiivistelmä
Koodain Solutions assigned a technical business analysis for a software project that would perform as a service for communal skills and knowledge tracking. The objectives were to research the best practices of technical business analysis, elicit the requirements of the project and produce technical documentation that would allow developers to start production of the product solution to meet those requirements.
In order to establish that the produced technical documentation was up to par with the developer requirements and that the right tools, methods and standards of business analysis were applied, a professional business analyst and a professional software developer were interviewed. The produced documents were presented to them, and their feedback was used to reach conclusions on the validity of the technical business analysis.The results are the product of an inductive, qualitative process based on a case study. The data gathering methods were source study of authors in the IT and business analysis fields, and professional interviews.
The real requirements were elicited using client interviews, a SWOT analysis and the Problem Pyramid model. After deriving the requirements the technical documentation based on them was produced using the theory and best practices of technical business analysis and software development standards. The produced technical documents are attached.
The conclusions drawn from the professional interviews were that the chosen tools, documents and standards portray the best practices of modern technical business analysis and meet the requirements from the perspective of software development.
