UML for the IT Business Analyst: A Practical Guide to Object-Oriented Requirements Gathering Review by Shaun J. Siddells
Entry Level
I've given this book 2 star. 1 because it just is not overly useful & is quite prescriptive. The 2nd star because, the title is bang on - It really is UML book for Tech-oriented BA's.
Given the content, this really could have been written with 1/10th of the content, paper & cost.
This will have some value for tech-heads wanting to write "something up" in a structured (template-prescribed) manner, but if you have any remote BA experience you will not be satisfied will shelling out for this book. It seemed to have interesting self-bias that I couldn't put my finger. I tried using the format & approach in this book for role I had a few years ago that demanded exactly the approach outlined in this book. I spent more time of trying to extract the practicality of it, than I did in actually writing my spec... which was after realised I was wasting my time.
Summary: Good to techies to entry level analysis only.
