In a waterfall approach, business analysis work is concentrated at the project's start - requirements are fully gathered, documented, and baselined before development begins. Transitioning to agile redistributes BA activities across iterative sprints, requiring the BA to conduct elicitation, analysis, and validation continuously throughout the project lifecycle, which is a fundamental change to the timing, cadence, and integration of BA work with delivery activities.
