Business Analyst Day in the Life: First Day on the Job, What Should You Do?

[@Slayqueen24seven]

Wow!!! great video. The last model you showed about what a BA does within a business is the best I've seen. Thank you!!!

[@pyrowittapen9736]

Thank you for this. I start my new role on Monday. Very helpful, you have no idea! Well maybe you do...thus the video😉

[@AngeloTheBA]

Good luck! The fact that you even thought to research this makes me feel like you'll do just fine.

[@dcjohnson2490]

I just started following you. Very good channel. I am interested in becoming a business analyst as well. Only thing is I don't have a degree. I will need to work on that to make that a possibility.

[@daviddawid123]

You don't need a degree for all roles......

Your videos are very helpful mate.few question here, are you an artist? if no, how are you able to make all these drawings? Secondly, i assume that the drawing are fast forwarded to catch up with you words, yes?

[@AngeloTheBA]

Artist, I guess so. I enjoy drawing and illustrating as a hobby. Professionally I'm a BA and UX manager. Yup, the drawings are sped up so I can draw more things to make it more fun to watch.

I love the information you gave in this video, but i didnt get a sense of what to do on a BA's first day on the job.

[@AngeloTheBA]

On your first day on the job you will know nothing. Working to construct one of these models will help you ask better questions and build a stronger working knowledge of the new domain.

What is this whiteboard you are using in video? What is it called? On Mac or windows? Do you use this on your job to make these diagrams n take notes? What software do u use and take notes on nowadays?

[@AngeloTheBA]

This was done on an iPad with a Bamboo Stylus using the Bamboo Notebook App (with the native Ipad screen recording capabilities). At work I use pen/paper, markers/whiteboards, or OneNote. I don't actually prefer to draw on an iPad, it just looks nice for these videos which started out as marker & paper, then it started getting too wasteful.

Great content!

[@heidimomin9564]

Thank you. Good video, but please quit eating before you start the video. The sound of food in your mouth is kinda annoying.

[@AngeloTheBA]

I don't have food in my mouth, nor do I eat before recording. I simply have slightly over active salivary glands. I have also discovered misophonia is a thing for people.
