‘Adrian’s book is a great look at the business analyst (BA) and the
spectrum of how to enter the profession, what work is commonly done in
the profession, and how to advance a career in the profession. The
sections that deal with “is business analysis for me?” gives some really
good guidance to those looking for a career in a high growth area. In the
tools and techniques chapter, Adrian summarises some of the industry
practices to explain the basics to give the reader a sense of the most
common work practices, especially as it applies to IT projects. The
chapter that deals with the career roadmap is also very strong, and very
useful to everyone in the BA profession or in adjacent roles, enabling
them to see some practical ways to evaluate career progression options.
