If you are new to business analysis, the amount of choices for learning can be overwhelming. There is a wide range of courses, online training, videos, books and webinars out there in the digital universe. How do you get a head start without losing your way?
The easiest method for getting lost is to jump from one resource to another without a plan. Different experts have their own styles of teaching and organizing material, and you will quickly feel that:
- Some information is repeated over and over in each new resource you look at, in a slightly different way.
- It is hard to build connections and a coherent picture from many small chunks of knowledge.
- Using thick books on business analysis listing technique after technique does not help as you are missing some of the context and understanding the essence of the job.
- Different creators of business analysis content have their own styles of speaking and explaining, and you spend emotional energy on constant adaptation.
One of the ways to mitigate these difficulties is by finding a source that you like, the style of teaching that works well for you, and then working through a set of learning materials from the same source until you feel more confident and have the foundational knowledge.
Then, you can start applying this knowledge in practice, and learn more using your experience as a guide and a source of new questions.
For example, explore the BA learning materials I created over the years using this convenient BA Quick Start Bundle.
