Hi All

        I'm new to the business analysis work(intern). About to start my new assignment (building a new software product from scratch), key function being requirements gathering. Need help to figure out how to start, what to collect and how to elaborate the collected information (with examples would be helpful).

Awaiting your responses.

Thanks in advance.

For all newcomers to our discipline, you can't just start cold with no training and no organizational support...well, you can but you will fail so much that you may not get the time needed to get good at it.

Samanta: are there any BAs at your company? Any methods or techniques in use? If not, and you have to proceed, make sure you keep track of lessons learned. Also, you can read one or more books from this Amazon list: http://www.amazon.com/Top-Books-for-the-Business-Analyst/lm/RTB0NDA834SX7/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full

Wright,

    Since iam an intern, i'm  guided by my senior BA's. Still i wanted to have a stronge base where in i can work independently/in a team effectively.

I got the one from Suzanne Robertson its very helpful.
