Re: How detailed does an as-is business process analysis have to be? 

Kimbo,

 Since I am new to the company, new to BA, and knew absolutely nothing about the in-house system or the business process behind it, my goal was to get an understanding of the business process and then work my way down to the technical process that is causing the problem, i.e. why the XML document is failing validation.  I felt more comfortable in taking this top down process approach, plus it seemed like the most logical way of addressing the issue.  Unfortunately, time constraints prevent that and TPTB have directed me to only focus upon the failing process.  I guess I will learn the rest as time goes on. Thank you for your input.  It was a great help. Sorry for the dealy in response.

It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
