In this conversation, Thando and James discuss the realities of working as a solo Business Analyst.
James shares his experience as a solo business analyst in different industries and offers insights on navigating the challenges of being the only BA on a team or project.
Key insights from James:
- Do it scared! It’s nerve-wrecking being the only Business Analyst but it’s a great opportunity for growth.
- Collaboration is key. Adapt to the team’s working style rather than trying to force what you know.
- Experiment and explore. Feel free to try new BA techniques, and new ways of solving problems to find what works for the organisation.
- Build a network of business analysts outside of the organisation to share experiences, knowledge, and ideas
- Prioritise your work and communicate openly with stakeholders about conflicting priorities.
