3 Things to do when Blocked at Work


There comes certain times when, as a business analyst, you become blocked. It may be due to waiting for the developers to finish programming. It may also be that you are waiting on a fix for a defect that is preventing you from continue testing. However, these scenarios don't mean that you are totally stuck, leaving you only to surf the web.

3 Things you can do when Blocked:

  • Let people know you are blocked! If people are aware that you are stuck, they usually make it a priority to help you out. 
  • Ask other functional people on the team if they need help, such as trainer for materials, or the quality guy. Asking people on your team that work in different roles is a great time to learn about the other aspects in the software development life cycle.
  • Read a book that is in your area. This could be about the industry you are working in, your role, or the work methodology currently being used for the project.
