Without a solid career strategy, you’re putting yourself at risk of wasting the time, energy, and money that you put into your career-related actions.  

The purpose of a career strategy is to give you a clear path to your goal and to help you make sure that you are achieving your goal faster.

In this episode, I lay out the three major elements you need to think about when formulating your BA career strategy. The goal of this episode is to get you in the right frame of mind for the next set of episodes where we’ll dive into the details of each element.

You’re going to spend the majority of your waking hours working at your job. It only makes sense to spend that time doing work that improves the overall quality of your life.

Career fulfillment is perhaps the most important subject to consider when thinking about the future of your business analysis career. It is also likely the subject you will think about the least. This is the reason that I dedicated the first episode of this show to the topic of career fulfillment. 

This episode also contains a comprehensive answer to the question asked by one of the members of the BA BLOCKS community:

What is the role of the BA on agile project teams?  Should they be part of the scrum team, or should they be outside of the scrum team working with the product owners to prioritize backlog items?
