QUOTES
Peter: “It really comes down to having an inquisitive nature, and then also being comfortable asking questions and guiding those conversations with stakeholders and product owners and product managers, so that you can really start to understand and derive value in the organization that way.”
Vivek: “As a BA you need to be a few Sprint's ahead, and you want to refine those stories in your product backlog in partnership with the product owner or a product manager”
Peter: “For me, conveying that in the interview that I want to shadow somebody that I want a good relationship with another business analyst is crucial. Because if they say, “Oh, that's not something that we do”, that's actually a red flag for me in the interview saying, well, “How am I going to learn?”
Peter: “In the interview, and then actually executing in your role, you want to make sure that you communicate how you are good at aligning on what the most important thing is to focus on. Because as a business analyst, there's always 1000 different things you could do.”
Peter: “Companies are born out of chaos, right? There's something chaotic in the world. And as a function of that you create a solution. And so your goal isn't to fight the chaos, it's to embrace it.”
