Have you ever been the main attraction at a press conference? Yeah, me neither. Today we celebrated the completion of an iteration on our project, still in the "green" and going strong, so when I was introduced as the BA Lead for the project and two of our program level execs jumped directly into questions, I felt like I was suddenly thrown into a press conference. Yes, the team is wonderful and we enjoy helping each other, and no one is overly protective of their work. I was lucky to have already been engaged as a contractor for a set of work when this project arose, so I "fell" into the Lead role and LOVE IT! We have a culture where your assigned work can be shifted with no judgement about previous work, and while we do have some conflicts, we aren't afraid to talk through it and arrive at the other end stronger.
How great it is to have the ear, even if it was just for a couple of minutes, of some high level execs. And now I can claim that I've gained some experience in a press conference, even if it was just internal to our program. Can't I?
