Webinar: The BA Life Beyond Charts, Diagrams, Documents

Most of what you do as a business analyst is not cut and dry. Like doctors “practice” medicine, you “practice” business analysis. With every experience you learn a little more and adapt accordingly. The business analysis profession is 80% art and 20% science. If there is an easier part to your job it is using the various accepted techniques like a RACI matrix, workflow, and writing a use case description…the science.

This webinar will NOT focus on the science.  Rather it will cover a strategy to develop the characteristics needed to be the most effective, recognized and desired business analyst.

Learning Points:

  • The three ways to ensure your personal credibility as a BA
  • The ways to be the go to person in your organization
  • The ways to utilize the key components of the IIBA BABOK Underlying Competencies

Webinar: What?! You Don’t Want to Be a PM?

As you progress in your career do you know your options?  Many companies have linear career paths for business analysts where they grow up to be project managers.  Although business analysts and project managers share some skills, the business analysis role has a very different focus than the project manager role.  Some business analysts do want to be project managers and there should be a career path available.  But, it should not be the only one. 

 Learning Points

  • The real difference between a PM and BA
  • Leverage project management skills to make yourself a better business analyst
  • Build a great PM and BA partnership
  • Career paths beyond project management
