In Agile, BAs work collaboratively with the team to continuously discover and refine requirements.

User stories capture requirements in a simple, user-focused format that drives development.
What is backlog refinement?

Refinement ensures stories are properly sized, prioritized, and have clear acceptance criteria before development.

Agile delivers in increments with flexibility for change; Waterfall follows a linear sequence with all requirements defined upfront.

MVPs allow teams to test assumptions and gather real user feedback with minimal investment before building the full solution.
