Subject:From technical writing to business analysis? From:"Mehta, Sona" <mehtas -at- visa -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Mon, 16 May 2005 16:22:53 +0100
HI All,
All this talk about developers and technical authors has made me think about my role here, in my current position I see myself slowly drifting from being a technical author (e.g. writing user manual and online help for a system) to being a business analyst (e.g. requirements gathering, gap analysis, helping with use cases etc). I was wondering if there are many of you out there who have had a similar transition. Do you think this is a natural progression? I was hoping to get some pros and cons of such a move.
I must admit I do enjoy doing analysis stuff.
Many thanks
Sona
