What documents and artifacts do you create when working on a project as a business analyst?

The key documents and artifacts created by a business analyst include:

• Business Requirements Document (BRD) — description of business goals, objectives, and project requirements.
• Functional Requirements Specification (FRS) — detailed description of system functions and behavior.
• Diagrams and models — UML diagrams (use case, activity, class), BPMN for process description.
• User Stories and Acceptance Criteria — for Agile projects, describing user scenarios and acceptance criteria.
• Prototypes and interface mockups — visual representation of the future product.
• Traceability Matrix — links requirements with tests and tasks.
• Reports and presentations — for communication with stakeholders.

These artifacts help structure requirements, ensure understanding between business and developers, and control the quality and completeness of implementation.
