Author Topic: Anyone know of a Business Analyst community? (Read 5337 times)

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of an active Business Analyst/Systems Analyst community. I'm a big believer in such things as knowledge sharing places. I've had a look around the web, and couldn't find much. It seems like an oversite.

What I'm looking for is a discussion board/mailing list/some other thing where people exchange knowledge about business analysis... requirements gathering, solutions, and so on. (This board probably counts as a modelling community.)

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Although it's not business analysis it may be worth looking at...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dm-discuss/

The group is very active and may have some topics that are of interest, the topics listed in the group description are...

"Business Rules * Data Administration * Data Management * Data Mining * Data Model Patterns * Data Modeling * Data Quality * Data Warehouses * Database Administration * Database Design * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Models * Extensible Markup Language (XML) * Information Management * Intellectual Capital * Internet * Intranet * Knowledge Discovery * Knowledge Management * Meta Data * Object Orientation * Repositories * Unified Modeling Language (UML) * Universal Data Models"

How about the WorldWide Institute of Software Architects
at http://www.wwisa.org

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

Alan, Yahoo groups make me come out in a rash.

Chris, how active are the WWISA discussion boards?

I'm afraid I don't know. But it seems to be an organization that is on the rise, locally at least in NZ.

I tried the Rational discussion group for a while 3-4 years ago but the signal-2-noise ratio was too poor.

Me too. How about Sparx hosting one on this server?

You'll get over the rash once you break the itch/scratch cycle!

You also try www.brcommunity.com which is the business rules community.
