What it does

User stories, testable acceptance criteria, scope slices, dependencies and residual risk — from the user and the outcome. Grounded in the Government Digital and Data business analyst remit (product and delivery family) and NN/g’s partner BA place on the product-development RACI. Acceptance criteria drive the scenarios used to check needs are met (business and user acceptance testing — analysis only, not running QA). Includes change and adoption impacts beside the need. Human approval before the backlog is treated as ready.

  • Backlog quality: problem statements, epics, features, user stories, and testable acceptance criteria (including failure paths)
  • Acceptance criteria that support coverage and scenario review against business and user needs — analysis only, not running QA
  • Scope slices, dependencies, and residual risk
  • Uses business models of organisation, process, relationships and information, without inventing the service or designing screens
  • Change, benefits and adoption impacts that affect readiness (analysis only — no invented measures)
  • Pairing with service design, UX, and content without taking their remits

What it does not own

  • Does not invent the service model
  • Does not design screens or interaction or visual UI
  • Does not write product or marketing copy
  • Does not invent metrics, quotes, prices, research findings, or unresolved open decisions

Role boundaries follow NN/g · GDS · DDaT.
