Geschäftsanalyse

Geschäftsanalyse, often translated as business analysis, is a discipline that focuses on understanding and defining the needs of an organization and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. It bridges the gap between business problems and technology solutions. The core of Geschäftsanalyse involves eliciting, analyzing, documenting, and managing requirements throughout the lifecycle of a project or initiative.

A Geschäftsanalyse professional works closely with various stakeholders, including business users, subject matter experts, project managers, and technical teams. Through techniques such as interviews, workshops, surveys, and document analysis, they identify current pain points, define desired future states, and explore potential solutions. This process ensures that the proposed changes or systems align with the strategic goals of the organization.

Key activities within Geschäftsanalyse include process modeling, data analysis, functional and non-functional requirements definition, and user story creation. The output of these activities often takes the form of business requirements documents, use cases, user stories, and process flows. Ultimately, the goal of Geschäftsanalyse is to improve business processes, optimize systems, and ensure that investments in technology and change initiatives yield tangible benefits for the organization. It plays a crucial role in successful project delivery and organizational transformation.
