Many of these have been created or modified by me or others. Ive created, drafted, or reviewed. The business and key stake holders have their specific documentationList of artifacts (many of which I have included in the artifacts for projects) is an example of the documentation that I have been involved with over the years as part of my BA contracts. Listed here are examples of artifacts that I have either created, edited, shared, or distributed as part of the numerous contracts that I have supported.As most businesses require their own set of artifacts (e.g., existing templates, project artifacts, etc.), it is those documents that will serve as written SMEs for my review and guidance in preparing for my role as a BA on your project(s). Here are several examples of documents that have been created or updated during several projects:Business Requirements Document (BRD),Functional Requirements Document (FRD); a.k.a. Functional Requirement Specification (FRS)Technical Design Document (TDD); a.k.a. Technical Requirements Document (TRD)System Requirement Specification (SRS); a.k.a.
