Re: Analyst's Thought of the Day 

Thursday: 9:22 a.m.

Well, once again, I am being "called on the carpet" for my faulty short-term memory.    I ask a subject matter expert  "What is the procedure for doing .........?".   His repsonse:  "Remember, we talked about this before........ "      Later, I ask "How is ....... done?"   Again, his response "REMEMBER........."

I tell him that, like Einstien , I approach life from a high level of abstraction (needed for high-level business analysis) and therefore the details naturally often don't stick with me, but he just gives me a confused look.   Ohhh the lonelyness of being a concepts man!   How sad!

Re: Analyst's Thought of the Day 

Nice technique to get them top spell things out in minute detail for you.

 

I remember restating a simle, but important principle to a project stakeholder last year.  His respponse; "No shit Sherlock."

 

Aterwards two other people in the meeting came up and thanked me for asking the questions they didn't want to be seen not to know.  Oh to be the dumbest person in the room.

Analyst Thought For the Day:

It is only by dying (i.e., following the flow of data) that we are born again (i.e., come to understand the underlying logic of a software system).  - ajmarkos

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
Now, I know, I don’t know what kind of new intro BPO may require, but at least I can promise you upfront that I have something different to say about Business Process Outsourcing or simply BPO. What is it? This hasn't been a call center job or a sales job as we all think. It is a mammoth profile, and firms are grappling to ge...
