The Business Analyst Podcast
This podcast aims to bring you interviews with real Business Analyst in the "trenches". Its one thing to read books, surf the web for information but, 100x better to first hand tips, tricks & advice from someone who is actually out there doing it. The podcast will feature interviews with the top BA's who unselfishly share their years of experience, insights and "Eureka!"-moments with us. Personally its my own discovering journey to develop myself from the proverbial cubicle environment with pizza-cola surrounded by servers and uber-nerds. its an exploration to get out to the Real World where end-users are living.
