What Is Your Favorite Diagram?
BA Interview Question #6
For a change, let’s tackle an easy interview question in this post:
What is your favorite diagram?
You should enjoy answering this question. Use it to relax and take a breath between more grueling and demanding parts of the interview.
That is if you have a favorite diagram. If this question does not stump you.
Otherwise, you have some work to do. A business analyst must have at least a few models and diagrams in their tool belt. You should be able to understand what each diagram is used for, how to create it and recognize it when you see one.
If you need help here, check out a set of videos on my Why Change YouTube channel and a section on business modelling in the video course Business Analysis for Professionals Changing Careers.
If you have a few diagrams in mind that you use regularly in your business analysis activities, how would you answer this question?
Talk about why you like modelling, and why this particular diagram.
When would you create it?
How it can be used?
Do you have a professional portfolio, in a binder or a digital format, with some examples?
