3 Responsibilities That Make Salesforce Business Analysts Invaluable

Business Analysts

“But wait, there’s more.”

You might have heard these words uttered in late-night infomercials, inferring that the best is yet to come. The same phrase could be said as we continue our blog post series about Salesforce business analysts.

In our previous blog, we shared the pivotal role Salesforce business analysts play in driving digital transformation and how they bridge the gap between technology and business to facilitate collaboration, innovation, and agility.

We also revealed some of the primary responsibilities of Salesforce business analysts, like gathering and analyzing requirements. But wait, there’s more cause business analysts go far beyond these general responsibilities to actively contribute to a project from discovery to kick-off to go-live. Here are some lesser-known ways a Salesforce business analyst adds value to a company:

1. Testing and quality assurance

Salesforce solutions undergo rigorous testing before deployment to ensure functionality, performance, and usability. Business analysts lead or contribute to testing efforts, developing test plans, executing test cases, and coordinating user acceptance testing (UAT) to validate that the implemented solutions meet the desired outcomes.

2. User training and support

Effective adoption of Salesforce solutions hinges on user empowerment and support. Business analysts conduct training sessions for end-users, providing them with the knowledge and skills to leverage Salesforce effectively. They also offer ongoing support and troubleshooting to address user queries and resolve issues to maximize system utilization and ROI. User training and support are key for user adoption. New users onboarded to Salesforce must have a positive experience with the platform and see how it makes their jobs easier and more efficient.

3. Continuous improvement and innovation

Continuous improvement is essential in a competitive business environment to stay ahead of the curve. Salesforce business analysts actively monitor system performance and user feedback, identifying opportunities for optimization, innovation, and scalability. They collaborate with stakeholders to prioritize enhancements and drive the continuous evolution of Salesforce capabilities to align with evolving business needs.

Here’s another saying: “The tent is big enough.” It means inclusivity because the tent has ample space to accommodate different people and ideas. The business analyst tent includes many Salesforce roles because other jobs and tasks overlap with it. If you’re a project manager, delivery manager, or technical architect, you may find yourself under the business analyst tent.
