Start with the Big Picture – 10 Reasons Context Comes First
Description:
Before you dive into requirements, backlogs or shiny new solutions, ask yourself: do you actually understand the world this project lives in?
In this episode of The Better Business Analyst, I unpack 10 reasons why Business Analysts must start with context—not just the project scope. We’ll explore how understanding strategic drivers, system boundaries, and stakeholder ecosystems can unlock better requirements, smarter delivery, and far greater impact.
Whether you're shaping a product, leading change, or untangling a mess—this mindset shift is non-negotiable.
