REQUIREMENTS GATHERING FOR THE NEW BUSINESS ANALYST: The Simplified Beginners Guide to Business Systems Analysis

I was at first dismissive of the book because of its low price yet as soon as I began reading it I realized the book needs to be recognized and moved up in the literature of the work of the Business Analyst. The professionalism and authority presented by the author was as if I were sitting down with a colleague and mentor while dealing with actual challenges and processes encountered with each new project or assignment. The book reads as if the author was sitting in the room with you during most of the meetings you have held throughout you career. As a new business analyst, the issues and problems "predicted" in the text are those faced in almost every stage of every project you were associated with. The wealth of information does indeed "fast track" the new professional into the successful execution of the processes the BA must master. You will not take a graduate course with a more relevant, rational, and practical discussion of these topics in your career path and success as a Business Analyst. This book deserves high regard in the literature pf Project Management and Business Analytics. In the future I will give far more respect and credence for KindleUnlimited titles!

This book was a great tool to help start asking the right questions as a business Analyst. It’s a short and concise read but does not address anything too technical.

Good to have. Quick recap and ideas of requirement gatherings. About 70 pages. Few good interview questions as well.

I like the way how information are shared from work experience, and some tips on how to handle those situations. However, it seems lacking the depth on what skills BA should be equipped and prepared, what are the typical outcome / examples after the requirements gathering.

Good book for beginners. This book is to the point. I love how it break it down. I am able to write user stories with easy.

This is a straight forward approach to the BA role. I liked the way the process was described, and the outline for the Business Requirements Document. I plan on applying what I have read, as I am new to this process.

5 stars, quick read that explains some important BA topics. Goes over Waterfall, Agile and G.A.P methodology for gathering requirements, analyzing them, and producing the business requirements document and delivering a final business solution.

This is very basic information that you can easily find on Youtube or a simple google search. Do not waste your money or time on this book.

Good info, well written

Em poucas palavras ele consegue situar a pessoa no papel porém requer que vc releia algumas vezes para chegar num entendimento mais profundo.

As the book says it's a good source for those who wants to have a good start as a business analyst. Of course this approach is more suitable for big projects. Does not matter as it's a small book and you could adopt to your needs. Goodluck on your BA venture.

A nice short easy read which gives a great insight into what to expect if you pursue a career in this field

I just received the book and realised that it is 50 pages. For a moment, I thought there was a mistake with the printing!!50 pages for 10£ ? The only way I can see this is as a fraud. I am sorry to say this.This is the first time I am writing such a negative review on amazon.
