Helping users to explain their requirements.
First and for most, you must understand that for the most part, users do not understand what is happening behind the forms they are inputting data into. A Business Analyst needs to be able to view the system through the eyes of a user and though the eyes of the developer. Then negotiate a compromise that will meet the user’s needs and also maintain system integrity.
You have to peel back the onion with the users by asking leading questions, such as, If you select this value from the list box, what would you like to see happen on the screen.
If you forget about the code and focus on the behavior of the form, you'll get a lot further with users. In addition, users tend to get there backs up when they are approached by someone from IT because they tend not to feel that the IT rep understands what they are saying and they get very frustrated. If they are frustrated, then gathering solid requirements goes out the door.

Mention some of the tools commonly used by business analyst?
Read Best Answer
Editorial / Best Answer
AshishJuwa- Member Since Feb-2009 | Mar 5th, 2009
There might be various tools that you as a business analyst would be using depending upon the work environment.
The primary tools are:
MS-Office (Especially Word)
MS-Visio (for visualizing the concepts, creating diagrams)
But a lot of bigger organizations have been using Rational Software. Rational software licensing is expensive so you might not find it being used everywhere.
Rational Requisite Pro (for Requirement Management)
Rational ClearCase/ClearQuest (For change management)
I have also found that some places like using MS-Sharepoint, telelogic DOORS and other tools for document collaboration. I would say, keep a working knowledge of MS Sharepoint, at least.
Sometimes you might end up being a BA com QA. As such, it is nice to have a working knowledge of creating Test cases, using Load Runner, QTP etc.
Except for these tools if you have knowledge of RDBMS, Oracle, SQL, different operating systems, some OOP, it is always a plus.PCK Krishna

Most of the business analysts use following Tools:
- Microsoft Office
- Microsoft Visio
- IBM Requisite Pro
