The deliverable of a Business Analyst vary depending upon the role, project methodology, and industry. In this article, I will explain about different deliverable that a Business Analyst produces. Based on the nature of the project Business Analyst may merge some of the deliverable in a single document; e.g., a Functional Specification Document can include Use Cases, Data Dictionary.

  • Mission and Vision Document
  • Problem Analysis Document
  • Root Cause Analysis Document
  • ASIS and TOBE Landscape
  • RACI Matrix
  • Business Case
  • Business Road-map
  • Different Analysis (Decision Analysis, SWOT Analysis)
  • Risk and Mitigation Plan

Business Analyst can also come up with various other documents and deliverable that are unique for the project or customer. Above-mentioned ones are standard deliverable. The BA may work in Operation or Project. If he works in operation, he will mainly focus on the business and strategic deliverable; however if the BA works in IT project, he will come up with the project deliverable as outlined. BA can also use the business deliverable within a project. Later we will understand how to create all these deliverable.
