Reddit mentions of Business Analysis for Business Intelligence

> We are still very early days in this rollout and so far I have received high level concepts of what my manager would like to have a available in the system for our users and been building those out (while also doing my other full time job maintaining the "old" infrastructure)

If you're able to, try to have interactions with the users directly. That's what will set you apart from being a BI Developer to being a BI Analyst (although I know many use the terms interchangeably) and you'll get a much better appreciation for what they need instead of what they want. Understanding the problem is 80% of the task at hand, developing the solution is the other 20%.

To help you with requirements analysis techniques, I'd recommend the following 2 reads:

Tableau is awesome at making data pretty, and that's a blessing and a curse, because it can sometimes make people get caught up with the attractiveness of the output as opposed to the usefulness of the data.

If you're wanting to make yourself a really attractive prospect for your future career I'd definitely put as much time into the requirements/BA side of the role as the BI developer side. BI development (developing dashboards etc) isn't super difficult, working with the business to ask the right questions and define the right metrics...now that's tricky! But it's also where you will make yourself a star to the business.

It sounds like you're on a good track with your development side of things, you've got a solid background and are immersing yourself in the tech. Make sure you pay as much attention to the flipside!

Of course, that's just my 2c.
