Having worked in the public sector as a contractor for fifteen years, I have developed into a highly proficient IT Business Analyst, with an approach to needs analysis grounded in assuming personal responsibility for a high quality work product that is fit for purpose, accurate and completed within time frames.Detailed and accurate business requirements gathering provides the foundational success for any project. My skills as an analyst include both quick uptake of domain knowledge and a sound understanding of the integral position that analysis and requirements gathering has within solution development.As a business analyst I have learnt to seek a full understanding of business expectations, efficiencies and benefits, both perceived and real, and use this to drive and direct my projects. It is my belief that a simple solution is often the best.Skills1.
