BAs do tend to be a bit of perfectionists and maybe this does lead us to be hyper-sensitive to the wrongs. (You can read a story about this here: http://www.bridging-the-gap.com/business-analyst-perfectionist/) I know I’ve felt that experience at least a few times throughout my career — because I simply did not want to fail or be part of a failing project and often saw failure where others saw success. But this is something I’ve learned to unlearn over the last few years and it’s been one of the best aspects of my personal/professional development.

Thanks for posting this article.

You are right. The elements that you have highlighted are familiar to most but few could present/ put it all together to help themselves.
We are accustomed to structures and very few of us could give a structure to our thoughts.

I’m a lead BA in CRM domain and I believe Bridging The Gap is a great place to share our experiences.
