Business Analyst Quick Start Guide -- A Roadmap for Career Growth in the Information Technology Field of Business Analysis ( Related to Software ... Improvements ) (Business Analyst Briefs) Paperback – May 27, 2015

This is an excellent book for beginners and BAs who need to refresh their careers.

A low-level introduction to the things BAs do. I like that this books jumps right into practical examples. However, it would be helpful if there were a little bit of "why" and "when" to go along with the "how." A good editor whose first language is English would help too.

Clear and concise. A good reference for beginners or review for experienced BA

I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand at a high level the general role/responsibilities of a Business Analyst and the expected deliverable. This book does an excellent job of giving the reader a starting framework to work from and was a very easy/light read. Very valuable and I would actually pair this book that teaches how to document "thinking" with another book that teaches "how" to think for anyone but particularly the youth.

While I did learn some basics from this book, it's indeed very basic.I am already an analyst, but I wanted to formalize some of the practices I used and better learn how to approach certain things. I did not feel like this book helped me get to where I wanted to be, but to be fair it is a quick start guide.

It had good content, but I didn't appreciate being sold to during the book.

The book was very helpful in filling in a few gaps and also an easy read. This book re-assured me that I'm performing effectively.

It gives you a brief introduction to terminologies and explains the roles and responsibilities of business analyst, can be your 1st BA book!

I feel much better now. The author confirmed my suppositions about the stakeholders approach in one to one interviews instead of long and unproductive meetings.Sometimes finding out someone who had had your same difficulties can be reassuring!This book isn't a specific technical, but it contains many tips that can be very useful.

Information contained add little value to whatever you can find for free by just looking around "business analyst" in google.
