Advanced analysis refers to future-oriented analyses that can be used to help drive changes and improvements in business practices. It is intended to create an understanding of the different perspectives, and document exactly what a business process should achieve. It is a vital key to success.

A business process refers to activities that all parties perform on a day-to-day basis to reach an organization goal.

Consider the scope of the task.The scope of a task refers to how extensive the task is.
Determine  your  desired  outcome.  Think  about what it is that  you want to  accomplish  using the process.
Note  that  sub-processes  exist  within  processes. The more specific a process  is, the  easier  to  im-prove  it.
Write  down  any  exceptions  to  the  process.  All business processes have variations or exceptions
Document  the  business  process. Great  require-ments are  documented  in a  way  that allows the reader to choose the level of detail they would
like to consume, provide visuals and context of varying levels of detail  needed to guide  further work, and  provide text that clearly traces the visual and context representing the text.
Analyze the business process for signs of inefficiency. Identify the problems and decide which processes need to be improved. If you need to prioritize between several processes, select the one that has the big-gest impact on your business.
Fully analyzing your business requirements will lead not only to improvements, but to a transformation of the business. It is important to recognize that people from different areas may not see the whole picture, but often only from their own perspective. Here are some well recognized methods for requirement gathering.
Brainstorming

This is the best way to produce a lot of ideas on a topic in a short amount of time. Invite people from all areas involved in the business and set aside an hour in a relaxed environment with no distractions. The analyst should encourage participation and a flow of ideas, which are written down on a whiteboard. When there are plenty of ideas and suggestions,  the  analyst  then  determines  which  ideas  are more likely to provide the best solution and qualify for further discussion.

Storyboarding

This is used by a business analyst to break down a business into small pieces to focus on a single piece at a time. Storyboarding helps to identify where information is lacking and requires further analysis. It also helps in communicating with the end-users clearly.

Interviews

This  is an  extremely  effective  way to collect  information on key business person(s) involved in a project. Prepare open questions which  stay  focused on the topic  and  cover  the  key  points of: features, preferences and function.

Prototypes

This can help to identify  potential  problems and usability  issues. Producing a mock-up or model of the product or system  can help end-users or clients understand what the final product will look like.
