Do you have BA in your team?

Recently I saw a fresh statistics by WifiTalents. The demand for Business Analysts is expected to grow by 14% by 2024. The software development company where I work, JetSoftPro, is a tech partner in a dozens project. If earlier the presence of a business analyst in the team had to be proven, now the companies we work with themselves have a request for BA in the team. In fact, translating requests from business language to technical language is not an easy task. For startups, it can be useful both at the planning stage and at the stage of cooperation with investors, in order not to miss deadlines and to bridge the gap between stakeholders and the development team. What is your opinion? Here is a good article on what a good business analyst should be able to do: https://jetsoftpro.com/blog/business-analyst-in-software-development-what-they-do/

Seems BAs are getting more love lately. Makes sense - they're great at bridging the gap between business folks and devs. For startups, a solid BA can be clutch for nailing requirements and keeping everyone on the same page. Might be worth considering if you're hitting communication snags.

BAs are key! We brought one onto our team early on and it's been a game changer. They keep our product & eng teams synced up and make sure we're always building the right thing for customers. If you're feeling misalignment between biz and tech, definitely consider adding a rockstar BA to the mix. Totally worth the investment in my experience.

BAs are totally game-changers! We brought one onto our team and it's made a world of difference in aligning biz goals with dev work. Our BA keeps everyone rowing in the same direction and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. 10/10 would recommend if you're feeling those communication pain points!

A rockstar BA can make all the difference! Especially for startups where bridging biz and tech is crucial. They keep everyone on the same page and make sure you're building the right thing. If you've got regular breakdowns between the suits and the devs, definitely consider bringing a BA onboard. They can be total game-changers for nailing requirements and getting stuff shipped.
