About

 

 

 

 

 

My name’s Alex Papworth and I’m a business analyst who has been working in IT for seventeen years.

I decided to set up this blog for a few reasons:

- I’ve been freelance for the last eight years and always wanted a mentor who was an expert in this field

- the skill set that is required by employers for IT in the UK is changing and moving towards more business-focussed skills

- blogging is a great way of starting your own business

 

I would like this site to become a destination site for business analysts (or those who are interested in the subjects discussed here) that they trust to give them answers to their questions whether it’s an introduction to use cases, recommended books or courses or a place to pose new questions to your peers.

If you want to get the big picture view of what business analysis involves you should read The big picture. If you want to have a simple definition of business analysis, you should read What is business analysis?
