Senior Business Analyst, Requirements Engineering, User Stories, Process Analysis, Modernization

Project overview

For upcoming modernization projects in the SME sector, we are looking for experienced Business Analysts (m/f/d) for our expert pool.

A typical project looks like this:

Starting Situation

A grown business application is being modernized and migrated to Google Cloud: backend services, a web portal in Angular for customers and clerks, and a mobile app in Flutter. The business processes are only partially documented; much knowledge is embedded in the old application and in the minds of the clerks. The Business Analyst will turn this into a robust specification that a distributed development team can implement without further questions and will carry out the functional acceptance.
