Hi!
Came across this post on Eric Provost's blog.
Rather interesting, either if you're new to the job, or even if you need to be reminded of some of these things
Here's the summed up topics & some brief take-aways:
1. You shall ask questions (always)
...you have to know how users work to elicit good requirements...
2. You shall master the art of data analysis (embrace the spreadsheets)
...Data is power... Data is hard... Take time to play with data...
3. You shall challenge the status quo (change is stability)
...Ask questions (rule 1). Look for the truth in data (rule 2). Ask questions again. Never accept “because it always been like this” as an answer...
4. You shall aim for the best solution (yet keeping it simple, stupid)
...you’re tempted to suggest the crème de la crème... And you shall not... first look at how you could optimize the processes...
[KISS = Keep it simple, stupid or the nicer version, Keep it simple and smart]
5. You shall communicate (again. and again. and again.)
...Business analysis is all about communication...
6. You shall track your work (every. single. day.)
...you still have to project yourself 5, 10 years from now... Will you be able to track everything you did in the last few years?...
7. You shall widen your horizons (be a multidimensional BA)
...Don’t hesitate to do more than what is expected from you... Business Analysis is a multidimensional discipline...
