I perform all activities remotely. Business analysis and requirements acquisition is similar to investigation: evidence gathering, analysis, business model preparation (business processes, information architecture, cases, procedures, software architecture, etc.). The inputs I need are collected documents and written descriptions. My products are: Business analysis report including business process models, project scope definition, software requirements. From the moment of starting the project, my task is supervise the contractor’s work.

Remote meetings and teleconferences are also possible.

I use Visual Paradigm software for all work, especially to design and communication.
