As a Business Analyst, you work together with a multidisciplinary development team of about six to eight people. The development teams in Product Development work according to the Scrum methodology. The requirements, both Ultimo's and our customers', are translated into backlog items in Jira. In two-week sprints, the team works on these items to translate them into working functionalities. This is how we create new modules, develop new options or improve existing functionality. Because we work according to the CI/CD principle, the functionality can be rolled out to customers very quickly and we also can get feedback very quickly.
As a Business Analyst, you are the one to answer functional questions, but you don't shy away from technical issues either. One of the most important tasks of the Business Analyst is helping to get the backlog ready. This means that, together with the Product Owner, you keep a critical eye on the direction the product is going, investigate all sorts of matters, and use this to translate the rough ideas into concrete, achievable backlog items.
