Ever wondered what a Business Analyst and Project Coordinator does in a day? At Detik Ideal, I’m responsible for keeping projects on track, from the moment we gather requirements to the final test. It’s a role that requires wearing many hats, balancing client needs with team coordination. Here’s a look into what my typical day looks like.

My role as a Business Analyst and Project Coordinator

• Gathering Requirements: Turning Ideas into Reality
  ‍Every project starts with understanding the client’s vision. I dig deep into their goals and ensure we cover all the details, sometimes even the ones they hadn’t considered. Once everything’s mapped out, I document it to create a clear blueprint for the team. This document is crucial—it’s the foundation for the entire project. If we get this right, everything else tends to fall into place.

  
  

• Task Assignment: Bringing the Team Togethers need to sell their vision
  With the requirements in hand, I meet with the team to break things down. We assign tasks based on everyone’s strengths, and we talk through any challenges that might come up.  It’s a collaborative process, and setting realistic deadlines is key. Once we’ve nailed down the plan, we get to work!

  
  

• Progress Tracking: Keeping Everything on Track
  ‍Tracking progress is a big part of what I do. I check in with the team regularly and keep everything documented. This helps me spot potential issues early and keeps the project moving forward.  Keeping clients in the loop is equally important. My daily updates ensure they always know where we stand and what’s coming next.

  Project progress tracking can also be enhanced by using digitalised project management tools like get. – where tasks and checklists are kept in a centralised platform.

  
  

  
  

• Testing: The Moment of Truth
  ‍After the team completes their tasks, testing begins. First, we handle internal testing (SIT) to make sure everything works as expected. Then, I arrange User Acceptance Testing (UAT), guiding the client through the process and addressing any concerns.  Testing can be nerve-wracking, but it’s always satisfying to see everything turns out right.

  
  

• Writing the User Manual: Making Things Easy
  As soon as the system clears testing, I work on the user manual. This document is the key to helping users navigate the system effortlessly. It needs to be simple and clear, ensuring clients can operate the system without a hitch.

Challenges? They are part and parcel

Every role has its challenges, and mine is no exception. Translating technical details into something clients can understand is one of the trickiest parts. Plus, staying on top of all the documentation can be a juggling act, but it’s part of the job.

But Is It Fun?

Definitely! What I love most is the problem-solving aspect of my job. Each project presents new puzzles to crack, and no two days are the same. Plus, working with an amazing, collaborative team makes even the hardest days rewarding.

Conclusion: Why I Love What I Do

From gathering requirements to testing and final delivery, I’m there at every step, making sure everything runs smoothly. The best part is being on the team that bring ideas into life.
