<< My career - What next??
In a continuation of my quest to become a better business analyst, the next question I need to answer is:

I find elephants amusing...
And I'd forgotten that until I read through my last two posts (both of which mention elephants) which reminded me of the very first photo album I ever posted on Facebook...
Which didn't really have anything to do with elephants, but was a series of answers that students had given to math questions.
One of them in particular made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe properly:
I can't even explain why I find that funny. To the point of belly-aching, wheezing laughter. Still.
Which actually brings to mind my other favorite random elephant-thing: the winner of the 2003 Darwin award.
Not much more to say about this subject, really.

My career - what next???
Who, What, Where, When, Why, How.
I have built a career out of asking those questions. (Many thanks to my third grade teacher for introducing them to me...)
That is part of the beauty of being a business analyst. You don't need to know the right answer, you just need to keep asking questions and eventually, you present all the answers you get to someone else, and they make a decision about what to do next. And then you start asking questions again...
So, my current question is: How do I become a better business analyst?
And before I can get to that, what makes me a good business analyst? In fact, am I a good business analyst??
These are good questions.
In order to figure out what makes me a good business analyst, I first have to figure out what a good business analyst is.
(See what I mean by you keep asking questions?)
And right here, I run into what I like to think of as information overload.
