More About APIs from Business Analyst/Scrum Master Role

[@grezelle15]

Watching your videos feels like having a personal mentor guiding me through the intricacies of business analysis.

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Glad to hear that!

[@georgesomaru8973]

I would like to see a set of use cases with step by step workflows of how BAs would actually combine requirements/API work. I know that BAs should not have to do extensive API work, but we are being asked to do so more and more (regardless of whether that is part of the role). As that occurs, it makes sense to know how to deliver. The two API videos that I saw here were great for theory. Adding some exercises would be awesome!

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Will working on it

[@esew7124]

I asked the same question on the other video. Thanks for raising this.

[@truckinghappymedia9067]

100% correct here

[@oyato1]

What is the BA role in devsecops? What is devsecops? Compared to dev ops? Wat is the ba role with those ?

[@mitalibarman3702]

Brilliant content. Could you please make videos on SQL and data analysis (from BA perspective) if time permits? Thank you

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Yes will work on; thank you for the suggestion.

I was getting overwhelmed in my role as a BA but I feel more confident now.

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

I'm so glad to hear this - thank you

[@Shubham-h9g]

Thank you ma'am for great insight Your way of teaching and explaining is amazing My Q is how a BA participate in testing an API, what is the process. I know POSTMAN allows to test API but dont know about practical way

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Lots of developers and QA use PostMan to test APIs so that really is the best way.

[@nityak7641]

Your videos are very helpful and so informative! I second Mitali's request on having some discussion on SQL. It will be great if you can cover other topics as well- like experience working on an integration project, data mapping, data flows, etc. These are some of the common requirements that I have come across and I have also been asked in my BA/PO interviews. Thank you!

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

That’s a great suggestion, we’re having a live session in the FB group this week. Will post the video on KZbin shortly.

[@nasimakram1235]

Give so much clarity thanks 🙏

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Thank you so mcuh!

[@MithuleyshM]

Thank you for this content, Sarabjit! Following up on the last question in this video, should we go back and tweak the requirements or user stories after the developers decide to move forward with APIs or do the developers take it on from there?

[@alaaal-ali2585]

Thank u for the information shared. Can you please elaborate more on from where to start with documenting API projects with examples.

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Yes will do - I've added it to my list of content for upcoming training sessions.

[@galinamatviichuk7888]

Thanks for the great content. Do you have story and Acceptance Criteria examples for API?

[@chetnachaudhary8481]

Thanks for making such relevant videos - these are a great resource for anyone who's aspiring to be a BA ! Keep up the good work :)

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Thank you so much for the great feedback - I truly appreciate it

[@riniabin2355]

Thank you for providing this session on role of BA in API. Can you do one session for Swagger API and what is the role of Business Analyst in Swagger API? Thank you!

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Swagger API looks like it's a tool for developers so not sure it's something BAs need to know about.

[@daviddawid123]

I really enjoyed this session, i could relate to it, as am working on a text message project... Twillio Api was an option but we might be using Deeplake communication manager due to lack of resources. The developers that would use the Twillio Api are tied up with other projects... Thank you for your lessons

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrismedupin708]

Thanks a lot for providing these valuable resources, they are really helpful. However, what are some examples of technical requirements a BA may be asked to document? I am working on a project that utilizes a web-to-lead API call but don't know where to be looking at in terms of technical requirement documentation

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

That's a great question - the first place to look for tech documentation is with the API owner / company. It is in their best interest to get the APIs used and therefore often times they will provide documentation / instructions on how the API will be used.

[@rahulbhatnagar8401]

Is there any documentation exists in which we have a example for documenting api requirements, use cases, work flows. If it is on payments gateway that would be great.

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

I don't have documentation available but from BA standpoint, you should focus on the functionality vs on "how something needs to happen". BAs focus on the "what" of the functionality while developers focus on the "how". APIs are a big part of the how.

[@samperry3748]

Amazing content

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Thank you sooo much for the kind words - truly appreciate it.

[@10ahmedhassan]

Can we know the difference between them and web services and micro services and environments like SOA architecture and some elaboration on ETL process and Orchestration process and when they are used 🙏

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

i'm not aware; Business Analyst/Scrum Masters are generally not involved at this technical level.

[@ganeshpati263]

What could be the reason for not wanting to use API?

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Security reasons or maybe APIs are not available or working as needed by the company. There could be many reasons.

[@alloyudenkolo2952]

Who are the stakeholders on this APi project

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

You stakeholder are always the end-users / business users of the system/application

HOW TO MIGRATE DATA FROM OLD SYSTEM TO NEW PLATFORM

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Hello - there's a video on Data Migration on the channel that will provide the process of data migration

[@Abdulrk1]

As a BA should I be reviewing API/ BDD’s? I have no idea what this stuff means 😂

[@InDemandBAandScrumMaster]

Keep going and keep showing up - you'll figure it out.
