A look at how business analysts can visualise requirements and turn them into solutions.
Watch the video
Synopsis
The emerging technologies such as internet of things (IoT’s), Digital Twin, Robotics and Drones intermix with both information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) and the hardware devices are not limited to a computer with a screen as they come in different shapes and forms with no user interface. The Swarm Intelligence technology even takes it further to enable devices to communicate with each other bypassing human intervention.
This has made it harder for Business Analysts to visualise how the requirements are turned to solutions. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) tests the “responses” of the devices rather than visualising the change of behaviour of the application on screen. Modern Business Analysts need to have the acumen to support the emerging technologies by improving their knowledge in:
- User Persona, Empathy Map, User Journey Map, User Survey
- Software modelling technique (BPMN, UML, SysML)
- Integration (requirements around integration between the existing and new systems including functional, infrastructure and data integration)
- Regulations (around data privacy, device usage to minimise any missteps)
- Cyber Security (new and immature technologies are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. New technologies attract Cyber Espionage)
- Testing – (emerging technologies have not been trialled and tested as much as their predecessors, more testing needs to be done to check for errors and bugs to ensure the solutions have met the business requirements
