What they like about Ppom:
The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.

Climbers' Joblogs at Ppom:
Business Analyst
How would you define the role of a business analyst?The British Computer Society proposes the following definition of a business analyst: "An internal consultancy role that has responsibility for investigating business systems, identifying options for improving business systems and bridging the needs of the business with the use of IT."
(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_analyst)
The above definition is close to my perspective but let's get a little personal. I define a business analyst as a bridge between the programmer and the business user. Some of the activities that should be correctly associated with a true business analyst would be requirements gathering, production of use cases, test cases, detail test cases, and graphic models utilizing UML to accurately describe the interaction between actors and systems in performing the desired solution outcome. The business analyst is an intricate part of delivering projects on time, within budget, and meeting the customer's real needs.
Unfortunately certain employers, supervisors, and project managers are confused on exactly what a business analyst is and try to make the title so ambigous that you could be doing everything or a lot of nothing at all. This is a serious mistake and can produce disastorous consequences, especially with our current economic downturn where value is everything.
