Exiting projects and getting to work with different stakeholders
As business/systems analysts my daily duties us to do requirements review and impact analysis. The challenges I experience often is to negotiate with impacted areas to log and prioritize a project as systems and teams works differently. I often have to set up meetings to negotiate the timelines. When finally prioritized I set up JAD sessions to finalise the technical components and draft functional specifications documents. I have learnt that building relationships with stakeholders is critical. And what I love more about my job is working on exiting projects.
Pros: Opportunity to grow and upskill myself in different fields other than banking
Cons: Long working hours or weekend shifts as I have small kids
