So the Business Analyst is a generalist/all-rounder and the system engineer is a specialist?

Comment on James Bond and Business Analysis by Angie Perris

Alex,
These are great suggestions. It is my belief that every BA should think of themselves as a consultant. If you are an employee, you are an internal consultant but the skills needed are really the same. Thanks for your contribution.
Regards,
Angie

Comment on James Bond and Business Analysis by Alex Papworth

Much of what you descibe is what I need to follow as a freelance business analyst. In addition, I need to understand the organisation change process (if there is one) and organisational structure very quickly so that I am not disadvantaged.

I have often equated this to a consultant’s approach. Not exactly sure what this means but this is my take

You need to be:
- proactive
- take ownership
- identify issues and suggest resolutions
- produce a plan with timescales and deliverables (informally or otherwise)

In addition, you need to talk to all the key stakeholders as quickly as possible. Ask them what about their concerns. What do they see as the risks and what are their key requirements?

You will be able to focus your efforts based on this information and demonstrate you are there to support their business needs and don’t have your own agenda.
You will also start to earn the stakeholders’ trust which you will need for their full and active cooperation which is key to your success as a business analyst.

Comment on BAs NEED management support by Julian Sammy

It can be a long slow road to build the trust you need from your manager to get the support you need. In my personal experience I was most effective when I avoided all mention of process, templates and such. Instead, I would ask questions and offer suggestions – questions to understand what my manager was trying to achieve, and suggestions on how I could help him or her achieve it. Of course, I knew that I was following a process and using templates – but I didn’t need to tell them.

Thanks for the post – you’ve inspired me to wax philosophical over on community.theiiba.org (http://j.mp/4mNSS7).
