(PDF) is for those new to business
analysis or who want to learn about the business analyst role. It explains what business analysis
is, its role in software development, the role of a business analyst, and the traits of good
business analysts.
Book description:
Early works on business analysis suggest that use of specific diagrams, possessing a
technical background, or being a strong facilitator is what makes a successful business analyst.
Seven Steps to Mastering Business Analysis advances the field by illustrating how all of
those factors combined, along with many others, are the key to success. This book gives insight
into the ideal skills and characteristics of successful business analysts and provides a foundation
of learning for effecting business analysis work. This guide will also help prepare you for
business analysis certification by explaining the tasks and knowledge areas in the Business
Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK).
Seven Steps to Mastering Business Analysis will help build the skill sets of new and
experienced analysts, as well as those currently doing analysis work, including project managers,
system analysts, product managers, and business development professionals. Human resources
professionals working to establish business analysis job descriptions and career paths in their
organizations and executives who may have responsibility for managing and evaluating the success of
business analysts will also find this book useful.
