Pay it Forward: Use Your Real Life Experiences To Mentor New BA's
Presented by: Dan Johnson, Michelle Gehrig
Do you remember your first project as a new, intimidated BA wishing that you had a great coach and mentor to help you? Well you might not have had that opportunity yourself but now that you have grown up you can pay it forward and help demystify business analysis for new BAs. Come to this session to learn how to grow a new BA from that “deer in the headlights” look to the “I got this” look.
Learning Objectives:
- Developing people who are new to Business Analysis
- A model for mentoring BAs
- Tailoring techniques to the needs of the mentee
- Broadening skill sets of BAs who are in a rut
- Helping BAs wanting to move to the next level
