Q:

What are JAD sessions?

Answer

JAD (Joint Application Development) is a methodology that involves the client or end user in the design and development of an application, through a succession of collaborative workshops called JAD sessions.


The JAD approach, in comparison with the more traditional practice, is thought to lead to faster development times and greater client satisfaction, because the client is involved throughout the development process. In comparison, in the traditional approach to systems development, the developer investigates the system requirements and develops an application, with client input consisting of a series of interviews.

Q:

What do you think about the challenges faced by a Business Analyst ?

Answer

Change management is the biggest challenge in each and every industry. After requirements stage when development is started client will come-up with some new changes or enhancements. 


Cross departmental or cross team management – like conflict management between teams. Also individuals. This requires soft skills and smartness. 


Communication problems – In real time this can happen. You might be good in speaking and understanding the English language. BUT sometimes it happens like Different people across the globe speak different style of English. In USA itself Mexico people speak English differently. Romans speak different English. So at initial level to understand the accent can be a challenge but after some time you will become perfect.
