Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
As part of the consulting side of the business, the day-to-day activities can vary per project. Currently, in a business analyst role, I have attended client workshops to gather requirements for the project, which are then formalised into business requirements in the form of user stories. As well as this, additional tasks that help progress the project and support other team members.
