Business Analysis FAQs
Why do we need analysis before development?
Unclear requirements are one of the most common reasons software projects go over budget. Analysis makes estimates accurate and reduces rework.
Can you help us write a tender (RFP)?
Yes. We prepare requirements and evaluation criteria so vendors can quote on the same scope.
Do we have to use Whetstonez for development afterwards?
No. The documents are yours and any qualified team can use them.
What will we receive?
Typically process maps, requirements, architecture diagrams and a phased roadmap with estimates.
