But I am confident to say that I am good at learning new things. I don’t want to say I am good at anything specifically, because Aristotle once wrote:

“The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know”

Thing is, you don’t need to know everything, as the pareto principle stated that you only need 20% of your knowledge to solve 80% of your problems. The rest 80% of the knowledge you need only in case of 20% of the problems. That is why I wanted to be a generalist, and this specific blog is a playground, a demonstration of what I am capable of, what I could contribute, and what I desire. You can read about the inspiration about this blog in the previous post here: Hello World.

I’m excited to share that this blog post was created using Jekyll with the help of Cursor. It took me one night to learn the basics of Jekyll. Most of the time was spent coding the home page layout. Thanks to Cursor, everything was straightforward even though I never used Jekyll before and my HTML / CSS skills are limited.

This user-friendly software allows for quick and efficient creation of low-fidelity mockups, which are essential in the early stages of design and requirement gathering. Here are some key aspects of Balsamiq that I found particularly useful:

  1. Intuitive Interface:
    • Drag-and-drop functionality
    • Extensive library of UI elements
    • Easy-to-use drawing tools
  2. Rapid Prototyping:
    • Quick creation of mockups
    • Ability to iterate designs quickly
    • Facilitates early feedback from stakeholders
  3. Collaboration Features:
    • Sharing and commenting on designs
    • Version control for tracking changes
    • Export options for various formats
  4. Use in Requirement Gathering:
    • Visualizing user stories and requirements
    • Facilitating discussions with stakeholders
    • Identifying potential usability issues early
  5. Integration with Other Tools:
    • Can be used alongside JIRA and Confluence
    • Complements other BA tools like BPMN and UML diagrams

Learning Balsamiq was indeed easy and intuitive, making it an invaluable addition to my Business Analysis toolkit. Its simplicity allows for focus on the core functionality and user flow, rather than getting bogged down in design details too early in the process. This tool has significantly enhanced my ability to communicate ideas and gather requirements effectively.

These visual modeling languages help bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating clear communication and understanding of complex systems and processes.

BPMN:

  • Primarily used for modeling business processes
  • Provides a standardized graphical notation for business process diagrams
  • Key elements include events, activities, gateways, and sequence flows
  • Useful for process analysis, improvement, and automation

UML:

  • A general-purpose modeling language for software systems
  • Consists of various diagram types, including:
    1. Class diagrams
    2. Sequence diagrams
    3. Use case diagrams
    4. State machine diagrams
    5. Activity diagrams
  • Helps in visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting software systems

My experience with state machine diagrams in firmware development has given me a strong foundation in UML, particularly in creating clear and concise visual representations of system behavior. This skill translates well to business analysis, where I use UML to:

  1. Model system requirements
  2. Illustrate system architecture
  3. Represent data structures and relationships
  4. Visualize system interactions and workflows

By leveraging my technical background and combining it with business analysis skills, I can effectively use BPMN and UML to:

  • Facilitate requirement gathering sessions
  • Document and analyze complex business processes
  • Design and propose process improvements
  • Communicate system designs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Support the development team in understanding business requirements

My proficiency in these modeling languages enables me to create clear, accurate, and valuable diagrams that serve as essential artifacts throughout the software development lifecycle.

It offers a more affordable pricing plan and even provides a free license for hobbyists, making it accessible to a wider audience. Fusion 360 is known for its intuitive interface, which makes it particularly suitable for beginners. However, users may experience some lag due to its cloud-based nature.

I used Fusion 360 mostly for my hobby projects, which including interior making and 3D-printing. Although the compenents management concept of Fusion 360 is excellent, it demands too much processing power and is not suitable for a big, complicated project.
