B2T Training

Greetings from Moscow! Even though we don't yet have an IIBA chapter here, business analysis is strong. I am teaching a class here and the students are facing the same issues and challenges as business analysts everywhere. I am teaching my class in English (my only language) which is the second or third language of the students in the class. They are bridging the language gap as well as the IT to business gap asking great quesions about data requirements, business rules and how to manage stakeholders from different departments with different opinons! The BAs in my class all have an IT background and many are also responsible for doing the system design and development. A few have access to testers (QA) but most are also responsible for that work. It is a great experience to talk with BAs from another country and find out that we share our passion and energy for business analysis.
