I initially thought this was too long and also who would ask such questions for a senior BA is what I thought! I cleared an interview in a Big 4 company and exactly these questions were asked. I can't thank you enough! What you have done is so valuable and helping people's careers. Keep it going!

I've been away from the business analysis field for about three years and found myself getting called for BA interviews. This video was excellent in getting me back up to speed both on the process and interview fronts. Highly recommended!

Perfect video with so much detailed information which is usually asked & needed as a BA.Thank you so much

[googlegoogle-pzwg]

Really, even I cracked my interview in reputed company. This video help me out to clear my basics and actual role of BA. Wonderful content .!!!

[bris]

I am a Senior BA, sometimes we do things so automatically that we forgot the basic concepts, recently I accepted an interview for another company that I didn't pass since they asked these kind of questions, conceptual terms and activities, they expected a definition like in a certification exam, which makes sense, it was very helpful to remember and see that in my current project we don't apply these by the book, we adapted these concepts to the project needs. Great summary of a BA education. Thanks!

[hansliebe]

This is beyond helpful! I have my final interview for a BA analyst position tomorrow AM. Thank you! ^_^

[kssvaas]

[naginafathima]

Great summary of the different roles and responsibilities involved! Thank you!

[maflemi]

Good stuff @ThePrefectBA. I'm more familiar with the "W" in MoSCoW standing for "Won't" (also stated this way in IIBA's BABOK) instead of "Would". The questions target junior BA roles, but worthwhile and triggers thoughts on extended questions for Senior / Lead BAs. Some of the other questions I get asked are around "How do you deal with quiet vs dominating workshop participants?" - a few useful techniques available via a quick Google for them. Thanks for loading. Thumbs up from me.
