Searching for Senior BPA with Business Architectural focus
Purpose of the Job
A BPA effects business process change by envisioning what the to-be business process should be after the product is implemented, and iterating on this process design by collaborating closely with (key) users. In this process, user requirements are uncovered and the BPA learns of their relative importance for users to effectively adopt the tool. The BPA uses this information to support the PO in determining the relative importance of features from a user perspective.
When a tool has already been implemented, the BPA uncovers points of user dissatisfaction and mitigates these. This can either be done by translating the underlying user requirements to new product features to be developed, or by working with the users to solve their issues in other ways. The BPA also supports users in configuring the product to their needs where possible. Depending on the service level agreements (SLA) the Business Product Analyst can be asked to participate in consignation duties, fi. in case 24/7 support is agreed.
