I have 22 years’ experience as a Business Analyst (BA), 18 as a senior BA and a short project as a Lead BA. Most of my experience has been as the sole BA on a project but I work equally well as part of a team of BA’s. The 22 years has covered a variety of projects for a range of clients including Wellington Free Ambulance, Kiwibank, AMP, ACC, Government Superannuation Fund Authority, NZ Customs, Ministry of Education, Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, Department of Labour, Ministry of Health, NZ Post, Tertiary Education Commission, Land Information NZ, Ministry of Justice, Lockheed Martin (NZ), and the ANZ Bank. Most of these projects used the Waterfall methodology, but a couple of the more recent projects have used Agile (Scrum) and I am comfortable with either approach.What I provide is a solid generalist technical BA skill set, a strong focus on the quality of the artefacts that I produce, and the drive and communication skills to help the client get the system that they need and the project team a system that they can deliver. In summary, I like variety and a challenge, or to paraphrase an ex-manager’s assessment of me; “I like to swim with the sharks”, it can get a little exciting at times, but it definitely makes life interesting.
