How I Work

Below is a summary of the business analysis process that I carry out for my customers:

Initiation

Here I meet with the management team to ascertain goals and to understand the planned benefits of the required change.
Analysis

Next, I collaborate with relevant stakeholders at all levels to get to grips with the current system in order to understand which parts need to be improved.
Design

Then I work with the same stakeholders to help them create a workable solution, ensuring that all requirements listed are appraised, prioritised and tracked.
Confirmation

At this stage all the documentation is finalised - As-Is and To-Be specificatons, Gap Analysis, User Stories, Use Cases and more - everything the stakeholders and management need to agree and approve the change.
Implementation

The next stage is to work with the tech teams to help them design, develop and deliver a system containing all the approved requirements. Here, I can also help with the Systems Analyst role, turning the business requirements into technical specifications - page wireframe diagrams, data flow diagrams, entity relationship diagrams etc.
Closure

Finally I perform a post-project review to ensure that the business and stakeholder needs have been met to everyone's satisfaction.

Feedback

Grahame Atkins

CEO, Headway Luton

On behalf of our charity I'd like to thank Andy Wood for his hard work in creating a bespoke system to meet all our data collection needs within a given project time-frame and, importantly, within our agreed budget.

Andy was very professional in his approach and quickly established what we actually needed in hardware, software and design to suit our organisational needs and staff ease of use. His continued support over the years has been equally invaluable.

I would personally recommend Andy Wood for IT services to anyone. 10/10.

IT Manager

Stoke Mandeville Hospital

Andy, as an all rounder, was able to take ownership of every task for the development of our new CLINICS system.

He managed the whole process, from talking to users in order to ascertain requirements, creating detailed functional and technical designs, carrying out all of the appropriate development and testing of every module.

Once completed, he deployed the modules to the live environment and then collaborating with the Training department and also the IT department to provide timely maintenance and top-class support.

Owner, LisaRose Crafts

Andy was exceptional at communication and taking the time to understand my business and what I needed for it.

The result is fantastic - I'm really pleased with my new website and eCommerce facility - I can now take and track orders over the web as well as keeping an eye on my customer invoices.

Easy to use, full of features and looks stunning! Thank you!
