Thanks to those of you who attended Tuesday night’s webinar (it was night for me anyway!) on The six essential steps to delivering your first use case model.
The technology worked well and, judging by the positive reactions, everyone benefited from the webinar.
There were a number of questions and I was able to respond to all [...]

I have an admission to make - this is the first time I have run a webinar and I made a bad choice of webinar supplier.

What’s it about?

I have a new publication to announce!

Whilst developing my use case modeling course, I thought it would be useful to capture and summarize some of the key lessons in a white paper for your benefit.

It’s almost ready but I thought I’d give you a preview ofthe first page which is a summary of the paper’s [...]

How to make eLearning that captivates?!
That’s certainly an ambitious goal! But I need to make this my aim for the most successful eLearning.
I will describe the pros and cons of eLearning when compared with classroom learning. I will also discuss what I see as the characteristics of good eLearning.
Finally, if you like what you hear, [...]

After considering all the valuable input from Business Analyst Mentor readers I described in last week’s post, I had to decide how to support the readers.
It wasn’t straightforward as I have to balance the investment of my time and money, especially when you consider that I work full time and have a family!
Once I had the requirements, the [...]
