Tales of inspiration from my real life as a Business Analyst. From world affairs to technology news, I enjoy sharing how strange things happen when you put the most interesting people in new roles. I don't play by the rules, and I'm an early adopter, so if you'd like me try a new technique or tool, count me in! Because we all know, success is all about sustainability. And don't forget to celebrate every WIN!

The Website that Should Never Be
In the weirdest turn of events on my current project, we built a website that the stakeholder never wants anyone to actually use. Yes, you read that correctly. This web site was built to meet an external requirement, and warns any users to contact our stakeholder before using it. It produces a lovely list of information, so it actually functions, but I struggle with "why" anyone would ever build something like it. What questions would you ask of that stakeholder, to bring to light the risks of such an endeavor? Why would we hire expensive contract resources for 3 months to build such a ridiculous solution? Let's role play!
