A self-help guide for Business Analysts / Technology professionals to build core, critical skills for career progress.

This is a self help course and guide and is meant for Business Analysts/Leaders of Business Analysts/Project or Technology professionals with 1-20 years of experience.

You want to BE THE BEST BA YOU CAN POSSIBLY BE. However, you face a number of problems to meet your own expectations:

PROBLEMS : There could be a gap between your own expectations of yourself versus how others see you. This gap could be due to lack of core skills, mismatch between your title and actual work done or inability to meet high expectations from others. Appraisals or feedback from others can help you close this gap. However, feedback and appraisals are not timely, honest, comprehensive and unbiased. They are also mostly superficial and do not analyse in depth the root causes and suggest constructive steps you can take.

SOLUTION: You need to help and guide yourself based on a real-life model and a real picture of the work you are doing. Self help will give instant results to build core skills and progress without waiting for feedback or appraisals. You will get instant answers and solutions to your problems to guide yourself.
