The Business Analyst's Handbook Review

The Business Analyst's Handbook
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book has solid reference material that experienced Business Analysts can utilize on virtually any assignment. This is not the best book for a new Business Analyst and is really geared towards a practitioner that understands their craft and appreciates additional guidance. Coverage of techniques and models is very comprehensive.

The Business Analyst (BA) plays an important role as liaison between business stakeholders and the technical team (software developers, vendors, etc.), ensuring that business needs are reflected in any software solution. Despite the importance of the job, there is currently no book specifically designed as a comprehensive reference manual for the working BA. The Business Analyst's Handbook solves this problem by providing a useful compendium of tools, tables, lists, and templates that BAs can use on-the-job to carry out their tasks. For example, you might be preparing for an interview session and use the book's checklist of interviewees to verify whether there is appropriate coverage of business stakeholders. Or you might be asked to review some diagrams and refer to the Glossaries of Symbols (organized by diagram type) for guidance. Or you may be asked to prepare textual requirements documentation and refer to the Business Requirement template for a list of artifacts and table of contents. Whatever your BA needs, the Business Analyst's Handbook places the necessary information right at your fingertips.

UML for the IT Business Analyst: A Practical Guide to Object-Oriented Requirements Gathering Review

Many other good books are available for learning the UML. There are good books for learning to write Use Cases. This book's real strength is that it offers a practical method for Business Analysis that uses the UML and Use Cases. This is very important because books explaining UML typically offer lots of details and a focuss on how developers might use the UML in blueprinting a system; this book, instead, explains when, why, and how the BA can use the UML and Use Cases to model and analyze the business context and business requirements, as well as ensure that business value is delivered.
