Information that other fellow BA's could use. And an opportunity for me to pick up wisdom from the greater BA collective... http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/BlogId/4/Default.aspx en-US administrator@modernanalyst.com Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:15:29 GMT Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:15:29 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.3.0.16726 Analysts everyday and in every domain of business come across obstacles in their analysis and efforts that prevent them from best meeting the needs of the business. These obstacles can be in the form of business processes, or system limitations, or both. Furthermore, a considerably big obstacle can be potentially detrimental to the spirit and purpose of a project. Obstacle Analysis is a tool that provides a systematic approach to overcoming those obstacles. Tackling road-blocks carefully and comprehensively can aid in achieving the mission of a project and in turn, satisfy customers. http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/23/Default.aspx http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/23/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.modernanalyst.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&EntryID=23 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 01:56:37 GMT 0 http://www.modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=23 One of the lines of discussion from an earlier blog by PriyaRS (Role of a Business Analyst; 8-2-07) was that how do we define the role of a BA. Is there a difference in responsibilities executed by a business analyst and business systems analyst? Or, are the titles simply synonymous with each other? Attempting to clear out some of that fog is the purpose of this article. As much as I enjoyed writing this, I also look forward to receiving your feedback and thoughts…keep the flow of information going. http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/21/Default.aspx http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/21/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.modernanalyst.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&EntryID=21 Thu, 18 Oct 2007 02:02:33 GMT 2 http://www.modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=21 This is the text of a presentation my boss had attended at a Telelogic conference and which, she later shared with the BA team at work. It lists specific words that when used in requirements, compromise the quality of the very requirements. I'll let the article describe further. Looking forward to some feedback...Les, thanks for your wisdom!! http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/20/Default.aspx http://www.modernanalyst.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/78/EntryID/20/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.modernanalyst.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&EntryID=20 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 01:55:56 GMT 5 http://www.modernanalyst.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=20
