Wednesday - 'Build that Network'
Following on from Tuesday's work, I have spotted a number of missing requirements and the entire morning is spent composing emails to Project Managers requesting them. It can be easy to tread on toes at this stage so it’s key to explain exactly ‘why’ I need these additional requirements and ‘what’ I’m going to do with them.
At mid-day I attend a fortnightly Business Analyst Forum where we discuss any issues which could potentially affect other projects. With Project Managers and Business Analysts constantly in and out of meetings, it is imperative that everyone is informed of important news and decisions. This was a fairly quick affair with little news and I’m on time for a teleconference I have set-up with a colleague. He is part of the Business and Information Strategy (BIS) unit and has agreed to help me become more visible in this area. As I’m a content focussed CDCer towards the BIS capability unit, I need to begin building my BIS network – this will put me in a good position for future roles and opportunities.
In the afternoon I continue filling in the requirements matrix and spend the evening with a little more stream work before relaxing with a movie.
