TechKeeper’s Guide #58 – Business analysis done in sales saves software projects 📈

“When a salesperson works on a contract, there’s a silent expectation they will secure development work that can be delivered in 100%. Often enough, they don’t negotiate with the client on a technical level, which can lead to scope changes, crunch, or a total project failure. Before that happens, a business analyst can confirm all the complexities, ensuring that the client and the service provider are entering a partnership set for success." 

Therefore, in today's featured article, we wanted to take a look at why business analysis done in sales actually saves software projects.
