Blogs for Business Analysts and Systems Analysts

Community Highlights



New Blogs Announcement!!!
Modern Analyst has revamped our blogs to provide greater value to you! Two new blog pages have been created. Follow the links below to access the new blog pages or access them directly via our top navigation menu.
You can still access our Original Blog Posts below.
 
Our Community Blog puts a different spin on our original blog page. Instead of each community member creating a separate blog, all community members have the opportunity to contribute their very own blog posts to a single community blog. This provides greater benefit to both the bloggers and readers. Some of these benefits are:
  • Viewers can RSS the Community Blog by a specific blog post author
  • Many members contributing to a single blog attracts more viewers, increasing the readership for all bloggers
  • Blog contributors can give more time and attention to each blog post since no single blogger has to provide continuous content to keep the blog fresh
  • The Community Blog gives bloggers the opportunity to make a name and brand for themselves in the business analysis profession
  • Community Blog contributors may be extended an invitation to become a blogger for the Modern Analyst blog
Our Modern Analyst Blog features blog posts from pre-selected Modern Analyst bloggers, many of which are influential contributors that are shaping the business analysis profession. In addition, the most intersting and insightful Community Blog posts are selected by the Modern Analyst team to be added to the Modern Analyst Blog.
 
While our original blogs and blog posts will remain available for viewing, community members will only be able to contribute new blog posts to the Community Blog. The Community Blog and Modern Analyst Blog have been seeded with blog posts from the original blog page.

Many visitors to  Modern Analyst have been asking for tips on how to get a job as a Business Analyst or Business Systems Analyst.  At least a few of you have now got your first (or second) job as an analyst.

As you will know, turning up on that first day can be intimidating.  What do you do first?  How do you start?  Who are the right people to talk to?

I'll do you a deal.  I'll share my thoughts on how to start on a new project/job, but incrementally, in response to the stories for you new analysts.  Share with us some of the tips you have about starting a new job.

I have started up a discussion forum thread for your comments.  Let's talk.

Re: You've got the job. Now what?

Start a Glossary, if you can't find one. As a newbie, you have a period of time where you can ask people when they use a term or acronymn "what does that mean"? ...and read anything about the business domain you can find, internal and external.
