Very Helpful in my career change decision process. I'm about to start a BA Boot Camp at a local university and this really helps me understand some of the questions to ask, what skills I need to develop further, etc. Thank you.

A really super quick informative video!!!!
But I got distracted with the animation on the screen. Though it was included for a different reason, moving things made it tough for me to follow the content.

Hi Angelo- I hope you are well.
I discovered your videos a month ago & I’ve seen them all; a few about 3/4 times. Your style is just great, compared to the tens of videos I've seen.

I’m glad to have seen this video first. I’m a QA transitioning to BA(IT focused)---I'm Felix from Manchester UK.

Could you please make a new video about an IT BA’s task/duties End-to-End, using Agile Software Development methodology in as much detail as possible. Kindly make emphasis on Requirement Gathering/Elicitation & Techniques, BRD/FRD, Epics, User Stories, Process Mappings etc... I know it’s a lot to ask, as a video like this could take hours to put together, and would definitely be in at least 3 parts 🙏🏽 Keep shining your light.🤗💆🏾‍♂️✅

Thanks Angelo! do you also have a video about how to break down a user stories into smaller and how to choose which items should be developed first?

[bhavyabhat]

Very Informative! Thanks for the video! I’m planning to start my career as BA with no prior work experience. I watched this video after I watched your BA for introverts one! I just wanted to confirm if I’m choosing the right path! So, in my case can I apply for a jobs as a junior BA ? So that I have someone to guide, before I take the project all by myself? Would BA be a good preference for an introvert like me? By the way, I was a librarian before transitioning to BA now. Thanks @Angelo!

Do Product Specialists or Product Consultants do data mapping ? Is that a functional or technical job ? Need some valuable suggestions.

[roseballerine]

Great content. I'm in finance, looking into opportunity in ba paths, hope I can make it.

Do BA's typically work alone or with other BA's on a team? It just seems crazy for 1 analyst to do all of this on one project.
