You: 

• Not only know what the standard business analysis deliverables are,   but more importantly, you know how to tailor the deliverables based on the type of project
• Know that quality is more important than quantity – you know your audience and create deliverables to suit
• You can go into meticulous detail but at the same time, you can   succinctly roll those details into a short, but strong presentation
• Can have a conversation without using the words, “the business”
• Can take a vague, nebulous, incomplete set of requirements that aren’t really requirements as much as they are vague descriptions of business goals and work with a group of stakeholders to turn them into meaningful requirements against which a potential solution can be evaluated
• Love to ask questions but more importantly you know how to translate the answers to those questions into deliverables
• Are comfortable facilitating meetings – identifying clear meeting outcomes and goals, diffusing conflicts, making sure that everyone has a chance to speak, and ensuring that the time is well spent and productive
• Look at a white board as a blank canvas (dry erase markers are an essential part of your toolkit)
• Know that swim lanes aren’t just for pools
• You’re a negotiator – not every requirement is mandatory
• You are tenacious – you have a job to do and you can’t be intimidated by those who yell the loudest (it is usually the quiet ones who have the most to say in terms of value)
