🟢 Using Google products? How to master NotebookLM for BA/SA (and save hours every week) If you already live in the Google ecosystem (Docs/Drive/Gmail/Meet), NotebookLM is one of the fastest ways to upgrade your day-to-day BA/SA workflow—without rolling out heavy platforms. What it gives you in practice (no marketing fluff): 1️⃣ One “project brain” from your own files Upload PRDs/BRDs, requirements, Confluence exports, call transcripts, emails, RFCs, release notes—and you get a workspace where y...

Most systems are designed for a perfect day 💯 The user logs in. The password is correct. The internet is stable. Nothing interrupts the flow. In analysis, we call this the Happy Path, the cleanest version of how things are supposed to work. It’s useful. It helps us understand the core journey. But real users rarely live there. Passwords are forgotten. Connections drop. People hesitate, get distracted, or make mistakes (often under pressure). I’ve seen this gap between “expected flow” and realit...

💻 AI as Your Second Analyst: What to Delegate (and What’s Risky) AI can be an excellent “second analyst”—a fast thinking partner that helps you iterate, challenge your draft, and reduce blank-page time. But in BA/SA work the cost of being wrong is often hidden (rework, scope creep, wrong priorities, compliance issues). So the key skill isn’t “using AI more,” it’s delegating the right slices of work and keeping accountability where it belongs. ✅ What to delegate to AI (high leverage, low regret)...

Hey, Community! Have you ever thought about what an IT manager’s voice should sound like so that it’s really heard during meetings and negotiations and colleagues don’t have the desire to speed up the call to ×1.5? 📅 On February 17, today, at our Minsk office and online, we’ll talk about why the same message can either move an initiative forward or go completely unnoticed. Quite often, it’s not the arguments or processes that matter most but your voice, intonation, and the way you engage with y...

WHAT CHANGED IN AI IN FEBRUARY - AND WHY BUSINESS & SYSTEM ANALYSTS SHOULD CARE 🗞 February was a strong month for AI, but the biggest shift was not “more hype.” It was better reasoning, grounding, research, and workflow integration. That matters a lot for Business Analysts and System Analysts, because our work depends on turning messy inputs into structured decisions, requirements, models, and stakeholder alignment. 🔥 What stood out most: - OpenAI pushed ChatGPT Projects further, including add...

Where Do You Actually Use AI in BA/SA Work? 👨‍💻 Let’s cut through the hype. Many of us say we use AI “everywhere,” but in real delivery work (tight timelines, multiple stakeholders, security constraints) adoption is uneven. Share in comments please and choose the closest match in the poll bellow 🙂

AI TOOLS FOR BAs: WHAT ACTUALLY “STUCK” BY 2026 In 2023–2024 we tried everything. By 2026, a few patterns clearly survived the hype—because they reduced cycle time without degrading analysis quality. 1️⃣ Agentic workflows became normal Not “chatting with AI”, but delegating: research → extract → compare → draft → validate. BAs increasingly run small agents for repetitive work: backlog grooming prep, requirements QA, regression checklist generation, and stakeholder-ready summaries. 2️⃣ Agent brow...
