The Business / Mission Analyst turns a business need into a purpose and requirements pack that DAEIOR can run. Role 1.1 signs intended purpose. Role 9.1 challenges the rights profile. Role 13.1 asks whether the purpose is architecturally possible. This role writes purpose, limits, success measures and requirements so Implement cannot invent extra use cases and Operate cannot treat every prompt as in-scope.

Standing duties

• Draft intended purpose: who is served, what decision, what autonomy, what is out of scope, what value is claimed.
• Raise ACT01 when a genuine business need exists; raise ACT02 when requested features would change the signed purpose; refuse to hide extra uses in “nice-to-have”.
• Write IMP02 requirements that Role 2.1 can evaluate against and Role 4.1 can oversee — including limits, not only capabilities.
• Keep purpose and value measures current with Role 19.1 portfolio and with realised outcomes in Operate.
• Do not treat a benefits slide, a problem statement or an OKR as a signed purpose or as residual-risk acceptance.
