Strategic Approach
All the client’s requirements were feasible.
The business analysis began with understanding the client’s business in-depth, identifying the users, discovering user stories, designing wireframes, analyzing the budget, and discussing project requirements with the client. We then identified the gap between the client’s requirement and our analysis to ensure all essential features are included. Our comprehensive research has helped us to gather essential project requirements, prepare the scope of work, and validate with the client's requirement. Accordingly, we have suggested some changes in scope and process too.
