I'm offering
BUSINESS ANALYST with over 25 years' experience working freelance for a wide range of clients, including Financial Services, Retail and Public Sector Clients
I have experience of working on the full project lifecycle, working in the Business change team, on projects where an IT deliverable was the principle output, collaborating with IT system development teams and third-party suppliers to ensure that requirements are fully documented and met.
I have experience of working on projects initiated by IT change, new Business requirements and Regulatory Change.
My roles have included requirements gathering and analysis; planning and running workshops with a wide cross section of stakeholders and progressing these requirements into solutions.
I have also been responsible for the production of deliverables such as Business Cases, Scoping documents, Business Requirements Documents, Use Cases, High level and detailed Requirements, process maps (business and system), user journeys and screen designs, user stories, GAP analysis and traceability reports.
I have worked with developers and test teams (both system and UAT) to ensure the requirements are understood and that the proposed solutions meet the requirements. I have also played a major role in supporting testing and defect management.
The projects I have worked on have used Waterfall, and Agile methodologies, generally using Scrum. When required, I have taken the role of Product Owner; managing the product backlog, planning of the project sprints, and assisted with the running of Scrum stand-ups and retrospectives.
Many of the projects I have worked on have included data migrations. I have an in-depth knowledge of Data Analysis and experience of RDMS and SQL
I have experience of managing my own work and acting as Senior/Lead BA on a project, managing the tasks of small teams of BAs. I have also worked as part of distributed teams with offshore element, as well as working with external teams and suppliers
