Introducing: The Passionate BA

Hello there! This is the first of many upcoming issues of a newsletter featuring all the news from your humble editor of the Passionate BA blog. Every other week, I will share what's new - articles, videos, podcasts, etc. - and what you might have missed in your feed. On top of that, I will share (sometimes) exclusive news and offers from my partners. I hope you will enjoy the content you get, but if you'd like some salt or pepper - feel free to drop a comment or a message. With that, I wish you tasty reading!

Well, because you should expect many things to appear somewhere in mid-April! Stay tuned and subscribe to catch all the latest releases!

Book book books

This time, I would like to draw your attention to the following two books:

• First is a fantastic "Storytelling With Charts" by Sam Schreim . You may?find my review here . Long story short, it is a great read; I totally recommend it!
• The second is a super fresh publication by Angela Wick and Tim Coventry, CBAP? , published by IIBA . This is a must-read for all business analysts and product owners! It is called "Futureproof" and is about amplifying your agility with AI. What's more - and this is a total craziness - you will have an opportunity to sign your copy during the Building Business Capability (and buy one there) and BA & Beyond in all cities (bring your copy with you for this case) this year. You may purchase one for yourself on Amazon US , Amazon UK , or Amazon DE .
