Abstract

This paper is based on literature survey as well as on case study for the presentation of business analysis tasks and decision modeling for the presentation of business analysis tasks and decision modeling for Non-Formal Education System analysis and development. These studies identify the need to emphasize the role of business analysts for revealing opportunities in data governance and reduce the risks of information system implementation. The paper contributes to the understanding of business analysts in requirement elicitation and mapping. The study highlights the gap in the discussion on business analysts’ role in information management and system development. Findings of this paper show that analysts can support information system developers in capturing the opportunities and in requirement elicitation by particular abilities of requirement mapping a cooperation with stakeholders.
