[Back in 2019, a young Vanessa Grant (ok, I wasn't young then either) discovered business analysis and was hungry to learn more. She soon came upon Laura Brandenburg's http://www.bridging-the-gap.com site and the templates she downloaded there made her at least appear like she halfway knew what she was talking about when she got her first gig as a Salesforce BA and was put in front of a multi-billion dollar client. So excited to introduce Laura and her new book to this group! -VG]

The Business Analyst’s Framework for Success

Succeeding on a Salesforce project requires that you be strategic, proactive, and well organized. Yet all too many business analysts feel compelled to make things up as they go along and sort of wing it through their projects. In this session, you’ll be empowered to create value and enhance your credibility with an 8-step framework that brings structure and clarity to your work.

You’ll discover:

• The key responsibilities of a business analyst, and how this work adds value to an organization.

• The business analyst techniques and practices that support each of the 8-steps.

• How to leverage generative AI to amplify the business analysis process.

By mastering these steps, you’ll gain the tools to approach projects with confidence, professionalism, and a proactive mindset that creates lasting value.
