In this episode Yulia Kosarenko shares with us the importance of possessing a business analyst 'mindset'. This mindset is critical to move a business analyst from the position of scribe to operating as a valued member of a product team. Join us to learn about the key characteristics that define this mindset.

Do you...

• Possess the drive to see what is missing from a given scenario?
• Think differently than the other team members working on your project?
• Have the willingness to speak up when the analysis results provide opposing results?

The role of the business analyst requires someone who is brave, patient, resilient, and comfortable with change. The role of business analyst is not for the faint of heart. If you are not walking the path less traveled - you might not have fully developed your business analyst mindset!
