About BA Playbook

BA Playbook started for a simple, very practical reason.

Over the years, I kept finding myself needing to look up a template, a technique, or a structured way to do something I hadn’t used in a while – a stakeholder map, a gap analysis, a requirements template, a prioritization framework. I knew how these things worked, but I didn’t always have a clean, ready-to-use version at hand.

So I decided to build a personal toolbox, a collection of templates, checklists, examples, and notes that reflect how business analysis is actually done on real projects.

And right from the start, it became clear that this toolbox could be useful to more than just me. BA Playbook is the result of building it in the open and sharing it along the way.

Who this is for

BA Playbook is designed for two kinds of people:

Everything here is built around one goal:
helping you turn business problems into clear, usable requirements and analysis artifacts.

My background

I have been working as a business analyst in IT for more than 10 years now, across a range of projects, teams, and business domains. My work has included requirements engineering, stakeholder analysis, process modeling, solution design support, and delivery across both traditional and agile environments.

This practical experience is supported by a formal, structured background, including certifications like:

• BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis, including specializations in:
  • System Modeling Techniques
  • Requirements Engineering
  • Business Analysis Practice
• Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I)
• Master’s degree in Project Management

How this site is different

Many BA resources fall into one of two extremes:

• Academic theory without enough practical application
• Isolated templates without enough explanation

BA Playbook aims to sit in the middle.

Every technique, template, or workflow is presented with:

• A clear explanation
• A real-world example
• A practical artifact you can actually use
• When helpful, an AI-assisted way to work faster and more consistently

The goal is not just to know what a technique is, but to know how to use it well.

Why I share this

I wanted to build this toolbox because I needed it.

I will keep it public because many business analysts, especially those early in their careers, are forced to reinvent things that already exist, simply because they don’t have access to well-structured, practical resources.

If BA Playbook saves you time, helps you do better work, or gives you more confidence in how you approach analysis, then it is doing exactly what it was meant to do.
