Top 3 open source programs for BAs? 

Does anyone here tend to use open source software in their BA work? If so, what are your go-to programs? Also has anyone had a large company back open source application use?

Re: Top 3 open source programs for BAs? 

 Hi Spooner,

Can't help you with that, but here are my top 3 quotes of all time:

1. Lady Astor and Winston Churchill. Lady Astor "Mr Churchill, you're drunk!". Churchill "Madam, you're ugly. In the morning I shall be sober."

2. W.C. Fields: "It was a woman who drove me to drink and I never had the courtesy to thank her"

3. My grandfather: "if you see a good pom shoot him, cause he'll go bad eventually!"

Happy days

Kimbo

Re: Top 3 open source programs for BAs? 

 

My dear Spooner,
 
Last question first, I’ve never used free software on an assignment for the main deliverable. Imagine things go wrong and you have all your “stuff” in a database that’s inaccessible and not supported – Phew!
 
I do use “free” 30-day evaluation copies to enlighten those who need to “play”.  Most of the software products about do have an almost “intuitive” interface. So I put a few of these in the “sandpit”, instruct them how to play and let them loose. You’d be surprised what a learning experience that is.
 
When it comes to the nitty-gritty, I still use my favourites! Visio is not one of them!
 
Happy days!
 
K.
PS. And one of my favourite quotes is: "Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see!".
