		<description>I think you&#039;ve summed it up well. Every solution covers a spectrum from business through to detailed technical design. All of these have requirements - they just tend to focus on different things. 
The business requirements focus on the business need; the user requirements focus on the user&#039;s needs; the system requirements focus on how the user interacts with the system. 
A systems analyst will be more comfortable at the systems end whereas the business analyst will be more comfortable (and focussed) on the business end.

		<description>What is the difference in the roles and responsibilities between a Business Analyst and a Systems Analyst? I presume that the latter may involve more knowledge from a technical side. Is there a faint line between the two? 
Is it easier for an engineer to transition to a systems analyst? </description>

		<description>[...] Build good relationships, based on mutual trust and respect. This requires a healthy dose of open and honest debate. My primary focus with the new mentors is to provide an environment where relationships can build and develop as a priority. One way this can be achieved is through &#8216;shared endeavour&#8217;.
