Business Analysis Task: Introducing a New Requirement and Developing As-Is and To-Be Business Proces

Task
Step 1
Now it’s time to introduce a new requirement to your project.
Come up with a possible requirement that any stakeholder could request. Make sure that the requirements affects other requirements and already existing solutions.
Acting as the Change Control Board, assess the change, trace the requirement to learn the impact on the overall solution, and prioritize the requirement among all the requirements.
Since this is a new requirement, be sure to determine the cost, time, change to scope, and the risk of this request. 

Step 2
As a Business Analysis, you always need to know the current state (AS-IS), future state (TO-BE), the gap between the two and the risk.
