Extract from Book Overview:
The purpose of this text is to quickly share valuable skills, techniques, and tools related to the Business Analyst (BA) role—a field that seems to be ever growing in demand. The book is designed not only for those who are considering a career as a Business Analyst, but also for those who are already experienced. Organizations can also benefit from this short start-up manual, by providing a training platform for employees moving into the BA role—a role that is sometimes filled through internal promotions due to difficulties in finding talent within the market.
This volume provides a realistic, practical example of Business Requirements Documentation through tools, such as flow diagrams, use-cases, and screenshots, which are commonly used in the BA world, and also shares this information in a way that offers insights that help both, existing BA’s as well as those that are new to the landscape.
The book does not delve too deeply into any of the various Business Analyst tools used. Instead, an effort is made within the text to give the reader just enough information to be able to quickly grasp the essence of each tool used, thereby allowing an extremely fast-paced, yet easy-to-digest learning experience. The experienced BA will find new techniques on how to think about business problems, as well as other insights with respect to dealing with stakeholders and building confidence in one’s profession.
The text takes the reader through a realistic application enhancement at a fictitious title company. The example is small enough to digest quickly, but detailed enough to understand the importance of a thorough design. Although typical real-life enhancements might have much more complex flows, the book presents a clear demonstration of critical thinking skills, writing skills, and core BA principals essential for the Business Analyst role.
A good Business Analyst is one who can drill down, ask many questions, and get an extremely clear understanding of the desired goal. In this book, and subsequent BA books (offered through BA Books), the reader will find a good platform to be able to cultivate such skills. The suite of BA books under development at www.BABooks.net will serve as an excellent starting point for a deeper engagement into the BA role.
The book is written in a casual, first-person tense...Complete Overview available in Book Preview
