During implementation, who should the analyst represent?

The analyst's primary role during implementation is to act as a representative of the customer. This means that the analyst should have a deep understanding of the customer's needs, requirements, and expectations for the project or product being developed. By representing the customer, the analyst ensures that the development team focuses on delivering solutions that align with the customer's vision and requirements.

This representation is crucial for effective communication between the customer and the development team. It helps to clarify requirements, prioritize features, and address any issues that arise during the implementation phase. Additionally, the analyst can advocate for the customer's interests and ensure that the end product meets their satisfaction criteria.

The other roles mentioned, such as the documentation team, test team, and development team, while essential to the project, do not have the primary responsibility of representing the customer. Instead, their focus is typically on their specific functions within the project, such as creating documentation, testing the product, and building the software. Thus, the analyst’s role as the customer's representative is vital for the success of the implementation process.
