As an IT Business Analyst you create a solution design and functional roadmap and you breakdown requirements into features/user stories

• From a strategic business & IT context you deliver detailed functional roadmaps. You can clearly describe the ‘as-is situation’, the ‘to be situation’ and the changes that have to be made to get there, including dependencies.

You also collaborate closely with multiple stakeholders, including architects, Product Leads, and Infrastructure.
• You are able to implement changes in an end-to-end context covering all functional and non-functional aspects in close collaboration with multiple teams. Therefore, you demonstrate understanding of IT concepts and have significant knowledge of the IT landscape. You guide and challenge IT engineers when making implementation choices.
