Calling to all Business/Project Analyst’s

[Jammy B*st*rd]

Try the International Institute of Business Analysis website. If i'm not mistaken they have a framework, and a draft copy is available on there.

The BA roles is a broad one. It could mean you building quantifiable business cases for applications, business process mapping and reengineering, deriving functional specifications, testing scripts, etc. It depends on the nature of project you'd be working on, how the team is structured, etc, to know what would be expected of you in role. But i guess you'll find that out soon enough )

I'll second Gonzo and JB. The Institute was recommended when I went on my Essential BA course.

The ISEB courses do give you a useful toolbox - I haven't completed them all yet but do intend to (I'm doing the BA Diploma).

But the best training I had? Being a NVQ Assessor. Smile a lot but don't believe a word that anyone says without evidence/proof.

Be curious and nosey.

A colleague told me that she was impressed by the way I enter a room (without being introduced) and 'work it'. By the end of an hour or so I'll know everyone there, what they do, who they work for, why they're there.

They're smaller and cheaper than the big boys but every bit as good, I reckon.
