Requirements analysts must also be inventors
J. Robertson · IEEE Software · 2005
Requirements analysts write requirements for a system that the client both wants and needs - seems straightforward enough. Requirements analysts are ideally placed to innovate. They understand the business problem, have up-to-date knowledge of the available technology, blamed if the new product doesn't please the customer, and know if inventions are appropriate to the work being studied. In short, requirements analysts are the people whose skills and position allows, indeed encourages, creativity.
