dest-ball-photo-4.JPGI am Maria Murphy (aka Mia, aka Murphs) and this is my BA blog.
It’s my thoughts on the issues and challenges out there for Business Analysts and some of the useful tools and techniques I have found to help my deliver my projects.

I love being a BA as it is challenging and I get to talk to a lot of interesting people about their business and what they want to achieve. Its both strategic and operational, and when the users are happy, I am happy :)

So who am I?

Well I am one the very few females working in IT and some people may think that working in IT makes me a geek, but then again I read a T shirt that said “the Geek will inherit the earth” so “Geek” is a tag I am comfortable with.

I am passionate about my work, my family and friends.

I love to dance and sing.

I love to sit in the sun and just chat.

I have too many degrees and am over educated for my role, but I love learning and will always be studying in one form or another.

I am a big movie fan and love the big cinema experience.

I am a dreamer and had a lecturer at Uni who inspired me to always try to “work backwards from imagination” - Thanks Marcus, u are missed by all who knew u :(
