BA is a Detective

A BA is just like a Detective. Just like a detective, before approaching any project or assignment or problem, keep your head clear of other facts and theories and assumptions. Because if the head of a BA is already filled with information, then it is unable to spot and process new and valid information.

Active Listening

A BA has to be a very active listener. Not just a good listener but a BA should be able to process the information that has been taken in.

Patience
