In Agile methodologies, the role of a Business Analyst (BA) is pivotal in managing requirements. The
Agile BA is responsible for ensuring that the requirements are clearly communicated, prioritized, and
updated as needed throughout the project lifecycle. Keeping the Prioritised Requirements List (PRL)
current and accessible is crucial because it ensures that all team members and stakeholders are
working with the most up-to-date information, which is essential for the iterative nature of Agile
projects. The BA works closely with stakeholders to gather and refine requirements and collaborates
with the development team to ensure that these requirements are understood and can be
implemented effectively. By maintaining the PRL, the BA helps the team stay focused on delivering
the highest value features first, adapting to changes quickly, and ensuring continuous alignment with
business needs. Reference:
