Has anyone taken these courses? I'm considering doing so through Coursera. I'm currently looking for work and would like to build knowledge that will help in our field and to reflect my current knowledge and experience with AI.
Does anyone have any feedback?
I currently have CSPO. I was going to get PSPO but I'm thinking with ai blowing up this may be better. Thoughts?
Hi everyone
I’m transitioning from a non-IT background into IT as a Business Analyst and have an upcoming managerial interview. I need help preparing for deep-dive Agile and scenario-based questions.
Looking for questions/answers on:
I kept my fullest efforts to clear my first round please help me through this
Sprint ceremonies (planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives)
User stories & acceptance criteria
Backlog refinement & prioritization
Stakeholder management
UAT handling and defect management
Agile vs Waterfall scenarios
Real-time BA challenges in Scrum teams
Best ways BAs can use AI tools in daily work
Day to day activities
Would really appreciate interview tips, beginner-to-intermediate guidance, real project examples, and managerial round expectations from experienced BAs/Scrum professionals. Thanks!
Pretty disappointed and not sure if I want to plan another in-person course. This has been on the books for two months; I’ve planned my work and my personal life around it. I’ll probably just take it virtually but just venting, I’m frustrated. Anyone have feedback on the virtual courses?
I am building an E-commerce platform where we sell both products and Services. Currently i am confused to take a decision about my product and service master which must included category trees, product attributes and brand alias. How to select the masters and who are the reliable providers..
Mine its smaller startup which funded…we are at the beginning of our product discussion…its very crucial to choose the master.
Hope many of you guys had worked on E-commerce platforms and gone through these scenarios, it would be great if you can share your suggestions.
Hi,
My team which is fairly immature in the way it operates, currently uses Jira Kanban and works in quarters. They are a security team so they get a lot of unplanned reactive work, but haven’t ever really tracked this so can’t see on average how much unplanned work comes in that they pick up.
Wondering if anyone has any tips as to how I can best track this in Jira so it’s easy to report on?
My initial idea was to have a simple epic that would act as a bucket e.g. Q4 - Unplanned Work and within that would go the unplanned work, using a combination of issue types such as Support, Incident, Bug etc and Labels to help theme the unplanned work that comes in. I want a good approach to start tracking and see a good 3 months of data so I can see where the team is spending their time.
Remember it’s. Security team similar to a DevSecOp tram
Anyone have any other ideas for me to try?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I'm here mainly looking for advice because I'm a little bit lost.
So basically I'm a business student doing an apprenticeship ( I work and study at the same time) and right now I'm a Junior PO at a scale up. My contract ends once I graduate and it's up to them to hire me as a full time employee.
I'm having a great time at the company, they're such cool, understanding and humane people & company. I have a great manager who always give me work to better myself and learn new things instead of just giving me leftover tasks.
I get to work with developers who take time to explain the workings of the code to me, then listen to my input even though I'm at least 10y younger and basically only got 8 months of experience under the belt. They also tolerate many of my mistakes.
As a working environment, I couldn't have wished for any better. I'm genuinely grateful to be part of the team.
When starting I had the opportunity to start a new webapp "from scratch" and got to design some of the features and work on some of the issues. I also did doc, Q&A, some light programming doing some figma, a few excels here and there and customer management. We also had all the weekly stand-ups and ceremonies. And while it was a lot of work it was also really rewarding. Now that this project is pretty much complete, I just spend my time doing less interesting stuff, if any.
And in hindsight, the projects themselves are groundbreaking or conceptually complex. Once you get the gish of the general ecosystem, it becomes repetitive.
I'm still learning a lot btw (I'm the main tech stack we operate with by going through code and asking claude for explanations) and working with devs actually got me more comfortable using github at its full extent.
It's by no way the company's fault that there just isn't much going on.
I do not hide the fact that I'm available from my manager neither, and actively ask for more things to do.
What I'll say might sound really stupid but I kinda fear getting comfortable.
Here are the three options I've got :
- I could remain at the company get comfortable but then I might not get hired and realize that I might be lacking skills.
- I could remain in the company then get hired, but that's (
1 - too optimistic since other apprentices weren't hired mainly because growth slowed down, and the business model is kinda fragile.
2 - not sure if it's desirable either from my pov, to only work at one company all your life, no matter how good it is. Btw, one reason why it's so good to work there is that many if not most people there have been working there pretty much since graduation so they are tightly knit and basically friends, so no shame in that i just don't know if it's for me)
- I could change try changing jobs right now and look for more learning opportunities: more complex projects and richer features, possibly better pay and benefits since I'm not well paid compared to classmates and I pretty much have 1-2 days remote days a month, classmates got 3d a week on average ) but it comes at the risk of not finding a job or not finding one as good as the one I currently have when it comes to the people and the management.
I still got about a year with them, then... Well then I don't know.
What do you think ? I'm open to every suggestion.
I've been a Product Owner for 8 years now across 3 different jobs/companies/sectors. After the initial rush of "what the heck am I doing?" at a new job, I quickly figure things out and get BORED. Big time bored! I can't figure out whether I'm only doing half my job or I'm super smart. PO roles are just a formula to apply to a product in my eyes. And the wait times are driving me up the wall. I like delivering, quick decisions, producing, seeing quick wins. I keep applying for senior positions but I don't know if that will make a difference because it will be even less hands-on. Is anyone else bored as a PO? Everyone else is saying how much they have on their plate but I don't think my time was ever maxed out! It's actually NOT a nice position to be in. Trust me. Thanks!
As I'm learning various things but not in depth of one thing, like about design, tech and marketing etc.
Curious to know is this same thing with others as well
