Hi all!



My name is Zack Martin.  I have spent about 15 years working for a Fortune 100, working my way up from an hourly in-store employee through college into a Senior Supply Chan Analyst role prior to leaving the company last month.



I am now working for a startup who is building a tool to help analysts get a head start on data challenges, resurface what&amp;#39;s worked well for them in the past, and clarify requests from business stakeholders.  All of this is powered by AI and designed to integrate with the business&amp;#39; systems to achieve this.



I&amp;#39;m just here to connect with analysts, learn about industries outside of my previous industry (retail) and hope to be a good resource for others.



My LinkedIn is 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/zwmartin/' target='_blank'&gt;here if anyone would like to connect there as well.

Hello All, Ben here fro the The Better Business Analysis Institute



The Better Business Analysis Institute (BBAI) is an industry body focused on the progressive growth and capability of quality business analysts. 



Our difference is that we teach and promote the specific skills needed to complete quality business analysis work.


&lt;div&gt;While the IIBA is a fanatic industry body and the BABOK is must have reference guide for all BAs; their education paths are not enough to develop into and succeed as a progressive BA in the modern workplace.





The Better Business Analysis Institute (BBAI) was founded to fill the gap between theory and the on-the-ground realities that Business Analysts face in their jobs.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Check us out at https://bba.institute or chat to our team on here&lt;/div&gt;

Hi! I am a student of Computer Science and I am writing my master&amp;#39;s thesis on ';Analysis of analyst&amp;#39;s role in Agile projects';. I created a survey that contains closed questions about the duties of a business analyst in agile. The survey is anonymous and takes about 5 minutes. If you have time and fill out the survey, I will be very grateful for your help :)

I hope this message reaches you in good health.



I have started my new role as a Business Analyst, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips, tricks and techniques that would be useful to me in my new role.



The change team are introducing Scaled Agile framework and are putting in more effort on business partnering. Any information, links to free courses and webinars would be greatly appreciated for these topics.



Thank you for your time in advance and I hope we can connect going forward.
