Have you ever played the telephone game?

Have you ever played telephone? If so, I imagine you know that the more people involved in passing along the message, the more distorted it becomes, lol. Some companies experience this in practice in a harmful way (definitely not as funny as the game). Working blindly, without a well-documented scope or well-done project documentation, can cause huge losses such as rework, implementations of incorrect features due to misinterpretation... And all of that takes time to be adjusted the way you want. And we all know: time is money.

A requirements analyst is essential for several important reasons, such as:

  1. Translating the client's interests
    By following the project from the beginning, a requirements analyst can document user stories, technical and functional requirements based on the client's needs. That way, they bring the devs everything all “ready to go,” making the project's understanding and execution easier.

  2. A go-to person for questions
    Having more than one person with a better understanding and project context within the team helps the process flow faster. In addition, the requirements analyst is responsible for validating questions with stakeholders, so in case of bigger doubts or the need for information about specific flows, they can contact the client and ask in a less technical way, which makes everyone's understanding easier.

  3. Well-done documentation can save a lost professional
    We've all been confused and not known where to start a task. With requirements documentation, you can visualize what the dependencies of a given feature are, map out what needs to be done first and, thus, organize your thoughts better.

Without clear requirements, the project moves along... but where to?

You can even start a project without a requirements analyst, but you risk investing time, energy and coffee into something that doesn't solve anyone's problem. And worse: still needing to redo everything later. It's like building a house without a blueprint, can you do it? Yes. But I wouldn't recommend it.

In the end, having a requirements analyst ensures that everyone is on the same team, playing by the same rules and aiming at the same goal. And in the tech world, where everything changes quickly, that clarity is what keeps the delivery valuable.
