Business/System Analyst

Goals:

• The company has an analyst, ready to take on any project, new or old. Asking for no handholding, they can proactively dig into and understand the customer's needs. Fearless in delving into the intricacies of the application, they understand it from both business and technical perspectives. Teams are vying for them, and the client acknowledges that the analyst knows the project inside and out, placing full trust in their capabilities.

Success Criteria:

• We created something that made everyone say, "Oh, how we lacked this!"
• And we created something that made everyone exclaim, "Oh, this is exactly what we've been missing!"
• And we crafted it in a way that made everyone say, "Oh, no one else would do it this well!."
• And we did it in a way that made everyone say, "I'm sure, that for every penny I have invested, it was the best possible use."

Reduced T2M

• Starting from the third week, every sprint reduces the amount of high-priority PBI that have a T2M of more than 2 weeks due to problems with analytics. By the end of the second month we have no PBI like that at all.

Increased Current Value

• Starting from the third week, all high-priority PBI for the sprint are thoroughly analyzed in terms of requirements before the sprint begins. The team can start working on them.
• Starting from the third week, the analyst has taken over AWS meetings without any loss in quality (response within 1 day).
• After 1-1.5 months, the analyst is already familiar with all the products in the company, understanding their goals and needs. They know exactly where to retrieve all the necessary information.
• By the end of the probationary period, the current analyst can take a vacation for at least two weeks, with the new analyst ensuring that the teams and the client won't experience a decline in performance during their absence.
• Within a month, the team’s PO can take a vacation, with the client receiving the same level of service.

Unrealized Value:

• Additional opportunities for expanding the contract with the client have been proposed.
• Concrete advantages that we can improve upon have been identified and substantiated.
• After 2-2.5 months, the initiative in analytics has shifted to our side. The client is no longer bringing solutions to us; instead, we proactively develop solutions for the client's needs, preparing user stories in advance.

Ability to innovate improved:

• First week: Understands the project's goal. The person logically demonstrates where our goal struggles and identifies areas for improvement. Offers suggestions for clarification after a week of work.
• First week: Knows the external stakeholders involved in the project regarding deployment and post-production support. Understands the significance of the matter and is aware of whom to contact on the client's side and for which issues.
• First week: Knows each team member's responsibilities, understands whom to approach and for what specific question, actively does so when directing questions from the Product Owner.
• Two weeks: The person convincingly demonstrates the shortcomings in our and the client's analysis/process, presenting a plan for improvement.
• By the end of the first month: at least two new technologies/processes that we can experiment with have been proposed.
• By the end of the second month: at least two new technologies/processes have been proposed that we can test on other projects.

Your every goal should answer the following questions:

• Who and how exactly has benefited? The measurement of benefit should be based on metrics tied to results, with the primary focus on evidence-based management.
• Why was this benefit the most important? How did we determine its importance and confirm it with consumers? It's helpful to use outcome-focused methods like the Kano model, Empathy maps, Kirkpatrick assessment, or Moscow prioritization.
• Why do we believe we have done this adequately? What authoritative source or admirable example has been chosen as the benchmark for "adequacy"?
• Why do we believe the expenses are justified? Why do we think we have spent the necessary and justified minimum? The minimum can be demonstrated, for example, by showing how losses were identified and minimized (see waste in lean management or muda/mura/muri in Gemba Kaizen/DevOps).

Commercial Advantages:

Our company is called Gehtsoft USA, LLC. We are registered and have our head office in Raleigh, North Carolina. Established in 2000 and operating in the United States since 2008, we specialize in bespoke, turnkey software development. Our primary client is FXCM.

What sets us apart is our team of professionals and engineers. When we say professionals, we mean individuals who operate independently – there's no traditional management hierarchy telling us what to do or assigning daily tasks. Instead, each team member is a self-sufficient unit, and every team is cross-functional. A professional knows WHAT needs to be done, WHY it matters, understands the PRIORITIES, and can effectively communicate and justify these aspects to the team and the business.

Boasting a 100% code coverage with tests, we set ourselves apart as true professionals with zero margin for error. Operating under pure Scrum principles with weekly sprints, we expect increments and outstanding performance from day one. As we see it, from the first day you must present a completed piece of the project, a reached goal. We eschew lengthy explanations about our process and focus on concrete goals, reporting on their achievement. Embracing an empirical approach, we test hypotheses weekly, obtaining daily results in the process..

Working Conditions:

• Vacation/sick leave/holidays follow the American model.
• Each employee has 15 days off per year, which can be used at their discretion.
  • 1 day off can be used at any time, more will have to be approved by the team.

• Official holidays: Christmas holidays (Catholic or Orthodox, so 12/24-1/2 or 12/31-1/7), Independence Day (7/4), Thanksgiving (4th Thursday of November). Holidays can be transferred to a different time if need be. You could say that there are 20 days off a year, and only Christmas (24-25) and New Year (31-1) are holidays. .
