Location: Washington DC Metro area (Mclean, VA)
FOR THIS POSITION: Applicant must have a TS/SCI clearance with full-scope polygraph.
Description
Primary responsibilities will be to elicit, analyze, validate, specify, verify, and manage the real needs of the project stakeholders, including customers and end users. The business analyst serves as the conduit between the customer community and the software development team through which requirements flow.
In general, candidate will provide expertise in the formulation of systems scope and objectives relative to the organization's business plan and requirements. Work independently and as a member of a project team responsible for providing functional and technical guidance related to the business implications of the application of various systems through the creation of detailed specifications from which programs will be written. Collaborate closely with other members of the program team (software developers, testers, operations support, and program management) and with customer stakeholders.
The business analyst will be involved throughout the entire system or software development life cycle. Upon establishment of the requirements baseline, the focus is shifted towards the management of the requirements specification and verifying the fulfillment of all requirements. Will assist and participate in other parts of the software development lifecycle such as testing, user training, and the development and maintenance of documentation for audiences that include users, senior stakeholders, and other members of the development team.
