Learn something related to #BusinessAnalyst (Day 5/30) 📚 Today's focus: Clear and Organized Documentation 📖 As Business Analysts, we know that clear and organized documentation is crucial for effective communication and project success. Imagine planning a family reunion... 🎉 To keep everything organized, you create a shared document with the following sections: 1️⃣ Date and Time: Date and schedule of activities 2️⃣ Location: Venue details and parking information 3️⃣ Attendees: List of family members with RSVP status - Name: List of family members (e.g. John, Mary, Jane, etc.) - RSVP: Status (e.g. Yes, No, Pending) - Number of Guests: Number of additional guests each family member is bringing This helps keep track of who's coming, who's not, and how many guests each family member is bringing, making it easier to plan for reunion. 4️⃣ Food Contributions: Outline of dishes to avoid duplicates 5️⃣ Activities Schedule: Timeline of games and activities 6️⃣ Contact Information: Phone numbers and emails for questions By structuring the document this way 🚀 ✨ Everyone can easily find the information they need ✨ Ensures a well-planned and enjoyable reunion ✨ Applies to business projects too! Join me in prioritizing clear documentation and driving business success!

Don’t be a Business Analyst if....... .......you are not CURIOUS Curiosity isn't just a nice-to-have for a Business Analyst—it’s a superpower! Last month, I led a workshop for one of our corporate clients in the USA. At the end, I played a little trick—something like magic—and said my goodbyes. Most people headed out, but a handful (maybe one or two) stuck around, eager to uncover the secret behind the trick.They were CURIOUS One of them was a Business Analyst who’s now a Business Architect, leading a transformation exercise in the organisation. I wasn’t surprised at all! It’s this kind of curiosity that sets rockstar Business Analysts apart. If you’re ready to channel your curiosity and become a standout Business Analyst, check out our 10-week intensive, project based and robust Business Analysis Immersion Program starting August 10th.

3 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞-𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐈𝐓 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 📊 In my 14+ years as a Business Analyst, I've learned that success isn't just about technical skills—it's about transformative approaches that turn complex challenges into strategic opportunities. 🚀 Three Game-Changing Business Analysis Techniques: a. Impact-Driven Requirements Mapping Don't just collect requirements—map their strategic impact Create a visual matrix that connects each requirement to: Business objectives Potential ROI Risk mitigation This approach helps stakeholders see the bigger picture b. Stakeholder Value Scorecard Develop a comprehensive scorecard that tracks: Individual stakeholder expectations Alignment with organizational goals Satisfaction metrics Proactively manage expectations and drive engagement c. Iterative Validation Framework Implement continuous feedback loops Break down requirements into micro-validations Reduce project risks by catching misalignments early 💡 Pro Tip: These techniques aren't just processes—they're strategic tools that elevate your role from a technical contributor to a business transformation partner. Have you used similar techniques in your projects? Share your experiences below! 👇 #BusinessAnalysis #ITStrategy #ProjectManagement #ProfessionalDevelopment #TechInnovation

BA Show Their Value By… 🔍 Focusing on defining the problem, user groups, and scenarios, over the solution and tech details. 🤝 Collaborating for a shared understanding, over coordinating team and stakeholder tasks. 🧩 Providing context to help the team and stakeholders "connect the dots", over controlling what exactly is documented or in a spec. 💬 Facilitating conversations with incorrect and incomplete information to get others to engage and add to the conversation, over creating perfect documentation. It’s not about being correct; it is about getting the group to engage and share a common understanding of the problem and solution space. 📝 Thinking about their role as structuring relevant information for others to use and collaborate on, over a role focused on documents, reviews, approvals, and hand-offs. 👉 How do you show your value as a BA?
