What are the essential tasks that can make or break a Business Analyst?

To be successful as a Business Analyst, we need to perform five critical tasks.  They’re what Tomette Kirk refers to as the ‘High Five”.  Those tasks are:

These five tasks help us to involve the right people, understand where we are starting from, understand where we want to go, what needs to change, and provides clarity to the team.

When you combine the High Five with Tomette’s 5 part requirement (who does what, why, and done when), you have all of the elements for completing critical analysis work and creating a shared understanding.
