Functional analysis and transformation of business processes
Our company provides Business Analysis (BA) and Business Project Management (AMOA) services, assisting clients in implementing customized digital solutions while adhering to time, financial, and business constraints. Our AMOA team evaluates your company’s needs and objectives, working closely with our developers during the iterative solution development process. They employ various tools, such as flowcharts, wireframes, interactive mockups, UX design, meticulous functional specifications, and an extensive data repository, to steer the development process.

Benefits
Benefits of business analysis
Define your goals with specifications
Insufficiently defined solution specifications are the reason why 79% of IT projects miss deadlines and go over budget. When creating product specifications, our team considers stakeholder needs as well as business objectives. Moreover, we ensure that the proposed technology can help you achieve your goals. If this does not allow you to achieve your objectives, we will help you find a different solution compatible with your expectations.
Lower the costs
Conducting a thorough analysis of business requirements prior to developing technological solutions allows for better project planning and reduces the likelihood of confusion and unnecessary revisions during the course of the project. Altcode, an experienced IT consulting firm, is equipped to assist you in choosing technology tools that are specifically suited to your needs, such as wireframing and mockup tools, web technologies, cloud platforms, software factories, and continuous deployment.
Liaise between business teams and developers
The role of the MOA functional analyst is to serve as a mediator between stakeholders and the development team, effectively communicating business requirements in a language that engineers and developers can easily understand. Additionally, these analysts are capable of effectively conveying technical accomplishments and obstacles encountered by the development team to business team members, utilizing clear and concise language.
Recette fonctionnelle et gestion du changement
La phase de développement ou de construction proprement dite du projet consiste à créer et à mettre en œuvre le logiciel ou l’application nécessaire pour répondre aux besoins de l’entreprise et créer un produit efficace et fonctionnel. L’analyse fonctionnelle joue un rôle important dans la mise en œuvre et les tests, tout comme la collaboration avec l’équipe de test pour évaluer les fonctionnalités et les capacités globales du logiciel au fur et à mesure de son développement.

STEPS
3-step approach
Step 1
Discovery of the project
To test your concepts, overcome potential technical hurdles, and prevent scope creep, it is recommended to start your project with the discovery phase. This is especially important for businesses with limited IT expertise looking to enter new markets or launch new software products. Our BA team assists you in the following actions:
- Define your business needs and goals
- Perform analysis of competitors and market trends
- Discover and generally define the technological solution you want to achieve (SFG: General Functional Specifications)
- Create wireframes and mockups
- Draw the perimeter of a first solution: MVP, solution ready for the market
- Analyze the costs of creating this final product (rough estimate)
- Examine project risks and find ways to minimize those risks
Step 2
Functional analysis and project start-up
During the business analysis phase, we collaborate with stakeholders and the development team to identify solution needs and prioritize product features. Thus, we:
- Facilitate business analysis workshops to converge decisions and prepare the drafting of detailed specifications
- Determine how the system is likely to operate (SFD: Detailed Functional Specifications)
- Prioritize the product backlog according to the importance of each Epic (Functional scope)
- Select the best technology stack with help from the technical team
- Design the solution architecture
- Create a roadmap for implementation
- Document solutions and requirements
- Provide a detailed cost estimate
- Transmit the vision, functional specifications and backlog to the PO (Product Owner) to prepare for the development phase.
- Participate in technical validation workshops and launch of development sprints with the agile team, scrum master and PO (in the case of the agile method)
Step 3
Management of corrective and evolutionary maintenance
After your application goes live, you may find it necessary to make changes or improvements to meet customer expectations. In order to make informed decisions, it is advantageous to have competent business analysts on your team. These individuals will evaluate user requests and feedback, proposing enhancements and overseeing any modifications. Altcode is available to support you in successfully navigating this phase as well.
- Correct and anticipate anomalies on new software solutions delivered
- Performing user acceptance testing
- Evaluation of the best method to ensure a good change: replacement or removal of software features
- Training your employees in the latest technologies and tools delivered

UX DESIGN approach
Functional analysis and user experience design
User experience (UX) designers and business analysts (BAs) possess numerous commonalities in their respective responsibilities, as they both play a crucial role in creating applications that align with business objectives and meet user expectations. However, conflicts may arise between UX designers and BAs pertaining to the development and design of applications due to uncertainties regarding project responsibilities and scope. By employing an iterative approach centered around collaboration, our BAs and UX designers collaborate closely to deliver business workshops that offer tailored solutions to address client needs, all while keeping in mind the ultimate aim of any business application development project: the effectiveness and usefulness of the tool, user engagement, and customer satisfaction.
