What problem does it solve?
The Business Analyst skill prevents ambiguous, incomplete, or assumed requirements from entering the product pipeline by eliciting missing information, validating contradictions, and enforcing strict completeness before handoff to Product Management and Engineering.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Elicitation: Guided 6W1H questioning across Express, Standard, Thorough, and Meticulous modes to capture complete requirements.
- Stakeholder Discovery & Analysis: Power/Interest mapping and interview-style stakeholder capture to surface decision owners and conflicts.
- Critical Evaluation & Feasibility: Red-team contradiction detection, Five Whys root-cause analysis, and a four-dimension feasibility matrix.
- Information Gate & Handoff: Enforces strict pass/fail checks, documents assumptions and open questions, and generates a BA handoff package for PMs.
- Use Case: When a client requests a new feature but provides vague scope, run this skill to produce a validated requirements register and a handoff package that prevents rework.
Quick Start
Ask the Business Analyst to validate the request, run a 6W1H elicitation, and produce a BA handoff package ready for PM review.
