Business Analyst | Question 28 of 105

Hello,

I would like to know about where to start get familiar with this field as i would like to start my career as Business Analyst and i hold M.B.A in information Technology but still some new concepts are there i am absolutely not familiar with.

Can some suggest me any case study or project i should start from and get familiar with each and every steps involved in this with the help of developing that project/case study by myself. One more thing i would like to know that all the use cases/activity diagram/requirement document gathering are done in MS office package.
Please suggest me any project name/case study with a little synopsis which i can develop by myself and can link all required phases involved in SDLC steps by steps and what about those phases where testing is involved as i do not have any testing software installed in my PC.
Please help me.
Thanks
