with special guest reviewer…
For those who have followed my blog for a little while or know me, will know that I’m a massive fan of the BA Techniques books and that I turned some of my internal training material into a workshop pack, that I was lucky enough to present at the Business Analyst Managers Forum.
Well when the authors of the book were finalising their third edition, I was lucky enough to be asked to review the draft manuscript, something that really felt like quite an honour, given the calibre of all of the authors involved.
Here is my review that features in the latest version of the book:
The latest version brings even more techniques to bear, extending to areas of user experience, process improvement and testing; helpfully mapped against key project phases. This book is a must have resource for all BAs at any stage of their career.
