Data means many things to different people. How does data make you feel? Does it keep you up at night because it’s not solving problems but sparking more questions. Or do you prefer to put data in the too hard basket because you believe the cost of storing, securing, analyzing and sharing it outways the business benefit. Perhaps you feel completely in control of your data and turn to it for every decision.

This weekend I went down a rabbit hole with my 9 year-old daughter. Almost literally. She’s been dying to adopt a bunny, and I was able to (temporarily) redirected that energy into building a Juicebox bunny adoption data story. The project was a fun father-daughter learning experience that, upon reflection, was chocked full of lessons for data translators of any age.

The issue. Conflict. . It makes me nervous just thinking about conflict in the workplace. It brings to the surface old insecurities, hurt feelings, and power struggles. Through my education there was a constant mantra–No one likes a pot stirrer, don’t rock the boat, grin and bear it –here are a million different phrases, but they all boil down to basic conflict avoidance.

It is strange how something that is supposed to be simple is actually so complex. Something that is supposed to be a matter of linear career progression can actually end up in a state of a continuous loop, with no way of terminating such a loop. A point of stagnation and frustration. This is a quandary facing many intermediate business analysts. They do not know how to shift gears and move one notch up and be senior business analysts - who play a strategic role in helping their business stakehol

[avia_codeblock_placeholder uid="27"]. The term ‘quality analysis’ is not new to us. Software product testing has always been a crucial part of the product development life cycle. But even with its highlighted importance, the discipline of QA in product development is often pushed to the backseat as other aspects cloud the mind of the team. Regardless, it is impossible to ignore the importance of quality analysis.
