Every great software product starts with the same thing – an idea. But an idea on its own means nothing. It needs clarity, structure, and direction. That’s where our Analytics department comes in.

At Fora Soft, analytics isn’t a box to tick; it’s the backbone of every project we deliver. Our analysts make sure that what’s imagined can actually be built, and that what’s built truly solves the right problem.

Here’s our 20-year analytics journey: what we’ve built, what we’ve learned, and what we’re aiming for next.

Let’s dive in.

From Simple Lists to Smart Systems

When we first started doing analytics, things were simple. We followed the Scrum playbook: write down epics, list a few user stories, and start coding. It was fast, but messy. Important details slipped through, business logic stayed vague, and “just one more clarification” became a constant.

So we evolved. We began drawing wireframes: first in Balsamiq, then in Axure RP. It was a breakthrough moment. Suddenly, ideas became visual, misunderstandings disappeared, and everyone from developers to clients could see the same thing.

Today, the process looks very different. With the rise of AI, our analysts use wireframes not just for design, but as a full analytical tool. Visily helps us draw screens twice as fast, while automation handles routine tasks. That gives analysts more time for what truly matters: understanding the business value of our client’s idea and what makes it fundamentally different from the competitors, shaping the product’s logic, and finding where AI can make it even smarter.

We don’t just gather requirements anymore. We think strategically about how every feature connects to real business goals.

When Analytics Saves the Day

Ask any analyst here, and they’ll tell you: analytics always saves the project.

When discussions start and requirements are unpacked, hidden regulations and forgotten constraints surface – things that no one even knew existed. They’re small on paper but massive in impact. Finding them early prevents misunderstandings, redesigns, and wasted weeks of development.

A good analyst’s job is to make sure there are no surprises halfway through coding. They build the bridge between “what the business wants” and “what the product needs.” Without that bridge, 99% of projects miss the mark; it’s that simple.

At Fora Soft, we never skip analytics. We don’t believe in coding blind. Every screen, every feature, and every user flow is backed by careful analysis and shared understanding. That’s how we deliver the right product – not just a product.

What Makes a Great Analyst (and Why Ours Are Exceptional)

Being an analyst isn’t about writing documents or connecting arrows on diagrams. It’s about curiosity, asking “why” five times until you get to the real goal. It’s about turning chaos into clarity, emotions into logic, and ideas into steps that developers can build.

Our analysts know how to listen, not just hear. They ask the hard questions when something doesn’t add up. They defend the end user when business goals clash with usability. And they think in scenarios: “what happens if the user clicks here, then there?”, long before any code is written.

They speak both languages, business and tech. They might not write code, but they understand APIs, architecture, and latency well enough to keep the entire team aligned.

This blend of empathy, logic, and technical literacy makes them stand out and keeps our projects smooth, focused, and on track.

The Analyst’s Code of Conduct

Here’s the mindset our analysts live by and advice they’d share with anyone who wants to become great at the craft:

  1. Learn to hear, not just listen. Clients often describe solutions (“I need an app like X”), but your job is to uncover the real problem they’re trying to solve.
  2. Ask the right questions. Open-ended, clarifying questions spark deeper insights. The most valuable answers often come after the third or fourth “why.”
  3. Structure the chaos. Ideas come tangled with emotion and assumptions. Your job is to untangle them into user stories, diagrams, and logic.
  4. Think in scenarios. Not “what the system can do,” but “what happens if the user does this.” It’s how you spot logical gaps before they cost time and money.
  5. Be technically literate. You don’t need to code, but you must understand APIs, architecture, and limitations. That’s how you keep developers and clients speaking the same language.
  6. Write clearly. Your documentation should make sense to everyone: clients should recognize their idea, and developers should know exactly what to build.
  7. Embrace conflict. Ask the uncomfortable questions early. It’s better to pause a project than to fix it after release.
  8. Stand up for the user. Even when business goals dominate the conversation, check: “Is this convenient? Does it solve the user’s problem?”
  9. Visualize everything. Wireframes, process maps, data flows – make the complex simple.
  10. Manage expectations. The customer always wants everything fast. Your job is to show the realistic path and guide priorities.

Always Learning, Always Caring

Analytics at Fora Soft isn’t an isolated phase. Our analysts stay involved from the first client call to the product launch, and often beyond. Since many of our projects start from scratch, they get to see ideas evolve into real products that reach real users.

Yes, our standards are high. But that’s what drives growth and pushes us to think faster and deeper. It’s like working with a demanding but brilliant mentor – challenging at times, but always worth it. Behind that drive, though, is a genuinely friendly team that shares ideas, supports each other, and celebrates every win.

That’s what makes working at Fora Soft special. It’s demanding, but rewarding. You’re not a cog in the system, you’re the brain that shapes it.

And just like the rest of Fora Soft, our analytics team never stops evolving. AI is changing how we work, and we’re embracing it; not to replace people, but to empower them. Smarter tools help us focus on creative problem-solving instead of routine tasks.

But no matter how much technology changes, one thing never will: our belief that great software starts with people who care. Every project we analyze, we treat as our own, because in many ways, it is.

We build with our heads, but we lead with our hearts. And that’s what makes all the difference.
