Thanks for creating this and making it available! Very helpful. The testing, Acronyms, and SQL sections were very helpful to me. I also like how you revisited topics like RTM in multiple sections. Thanks again!
I've been away from the business analysis field for about three years and found myself getting called for BA interviews. This video was excellent in getting me back up to speed both on the process and interview fronts. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the feedback 😀
extremely helpful, thank you so much !!
Perfect video with so much detailed information which is usually asked & needed as a BA.Thank you so much
Thanks for the feedback
Thank you for making this video, is great that you cover so many aspects of the BA interview process + it allows you to ID some of the things you need to spend doing more research/study.
Thanks for the feedback 😀
I am a Senior BA, sometimes we do things so automatically that we forgot the basic concepts, recently I accepted an interview for another company that I didn't pass since they asked these kind of questions, conceptual terms and activities, they expected a definition like in a certification exam, which makes sense, it was very helpful to remember and see that in my current project we don't apply these by the book, we adapted these concepts to the project needs. Great summary of a BA education. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the feedback 😀
Thank you for this Video, It will really going to help me for my future BA interviews.

You're very welcome!
@@ThePrefectBA where can I get this terminology PDF online or do you guys have them on Quizlet?
I watched the full video and made notes out of it. Really helpful.
Good stuff @ThePrefectBA. I'm more familiar with the "W" in MoSCoW standing for "Won't" (also stated this way in IIBA's BABOK) instead of "Would". The questions target junior BA roles, but worthwhile and triggers thoughts on extended questions for Senior / Lead BAs. Some of the other questions I get asked are around "How do you deal with quiet vs dominating workshop participants?" - a few useful techniques available via a quick Google for them. Thanks for loading. Thumbs up from me.
Pmbok states it to be will have. This is so that not to hurt any sentiments of people who would give you those requirements. But deep down the PO will know that it's in least of priority or won't be ever built.
Nice video. Covering most of the important things of the domain. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback 😀
after watching this video , i am feeling more confident for my upcoming Interviews. Thank You.
All the best for your interview

@@ThePrefectBA Is the "Prefect" instead of "Perfect" on purpose? 😄

Hi Guys.Great content.Keep up the good work.Please post the cheat sheet for the interview questions and solutions in the above video as the link given below is for requirement prioritization technique
Very good. I have seen the main parts that I need. A summary will be great. I have always struggle to understand the difference between project manager and business analyst. The different docs and what they do is great. A summary video that includes at what C stage of a project each document is used - will be great
No
O kill

To me risk management is more linked to project management. But still, misdefining or missing a requirements is a risk.

Awsome video.Just Perfect 1.Very informative

I have watched few videos across the channel. They are very informative and helpful.
I would suggest for a video on 'Resume/CV of a Business Analyst' like what details and skills should be required to mention in a job winning BA resume.
I have not come across such specific video on TH-cam. I beleive it will be helpful to lots of BA's.
Thank you for the feedback.
Yes, we will make a video on this shortly.
@@ThePrefectBA I am also eagerly waiting.
1:37:40 Rally can also be used for writing requirements
Excellent video , enough to cover all important topics in one go , recently interviewer asked how will u communicate to the user if the project is totally different than what is expected ,please provide some pointers as I m not at all sure what was the expectation.

@ThePrefectBA I really appreciate this video. The concepts are explained so clearly with use cases! I have a quick question - would you recommend studying any other concepts apart from this for a BA interview? Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback, in addition to this I would recommend you to read/brush on the domain concepts for which you the role is based on.
Consider studying domain specific concepts

wonderful video, very well explained. Kudos. Keep sharing and keep rocking.
Thanks a ton😊
0:53 Love this moment
I loved your videos . Specially with the help of case studies it gets very easy to understand. However, if you can post the video of wire-framing and user experience part then that will be helpful too. Something which covers product management part as well. All these things are interrelated and product management is in full boom nowdays.
Thanks Sanil, we will add this to our upcoming videos. I agree product management is on uptrend now and an ideal role for BA to grow into
@@ThePrefectBA - Ya, also if we can work with tools like Balsamiq , Ms Visio , Axure with a case study then that will be great. Small problem statements can also be provided to the public on weekly basis to make the videos more interacting once your channel grows more.
Thanks
Thanks Sanil, excellent idea. we have created a tutorial video for JIRA th-cam.com/video/pXsPIYwTg64/w-d-xo.html .
We will try to use a similar approach for the tools mentioned.
Also, excellent idea on the weekly problem statement.we will try to explore more as the channel grows bigger.
Thanks a lot for your support towards our channel
Very good video, helped me a lot
Glad it helped you
I seemed to be strugglin to clear interviews. I used this video as a refresher and landed a good role at a well known UK organisation.
