Review: Wow...This book is an asset to the new and practicing analyst. - I was at first dismissive of the book because of its low price yet as soon as I began reading it I realized the book needs to be recognized and moved up in the literature of the work of the Business Analyst. The professionalism and authority presented by the author was as if I were sitting down with a colleague and mentor while dealing with actual challenges and processes encountered with each new project or assignment. The book reads as if the author was sitting in the room with you during most of the meetings you have held throughout you career. As a new business analyst, the issues and problems "predicted" in the text are those faced in almost every stage of every project you were associated with. The wealth of information does indeed "fast track" the new professional into the successful execution of the processes the BA must master. You will not take a graduate course with a more relevant, rational, and practical discussion of these topics in your career path and success as a Business Analyst. This book deserves high regard in the literature pf Project Management and Business Analytics. In the future I will give far more respect and credence for KindleUnlimited titles! Review: Straight forward and to the point. - This is a straight forward approach to the BA role. I liked the way the process was described, and the outline for the Business Requirements Document. I plan on applying what I have read, as I am new to this process.

Pretty short and straightforward but lacking the depth
I like the way how information are shared from work experience, and some tips on how to handle those situations. However, it seems lacking the depth on what skills BA should be equipped and prepared, what are the typical outcome / examples after the requirements gathering.

Great for the Basics
This book was a great tool to help start asking the right questions as a business Analyst. It’s a short and concise read but does not address anything too technical.

Shameful, Scammy Garbage - You got me! First time on Amazon too!
What a shameful scam! This person most likely used AI to paste this garbage together to sell. The book was produced the day I ordered it, per the publishing's date. Compared to the Author, I actually know the real terms and practices, so it at least “verified and validated” that.

You should write that this book is 50 pages long.
I just received the book and realised that it is 50 pages. For a moment, I thought there was a mistake with the printing!! 50 pages for 10£ ? The only way I can see this is as a fraud. I am sorry to say this. This is the first time I am writing such a negative review on amazon.

Good start for a Business Analyst newbie
As the book says it's a good source for those who wants to have a good start as a business analyst. Of course this approach is more suitable for big projects. Does not matter as it's a small book and you could adopt to your needs. Goodluck on your BA venture.
