How to write a client handover email
|
Hello Reader, Lots of people seem to be job hunting at the moment, or even simply moving around within the organisation because it’s that end of year sorting out time.

AI agents aren’t just tools...

Hello Reader, If you’ve ever had to wing it as the business analyst on a project, I’ve got a book recommendation for you. It’s called The Value-Driven Business Analyst by Laura Brandenburg, and while it’s written for BAs, I think it’s one of the most practical books out there for project managers. Laura’s 8-Step Business Analysis Process is basically a cheat sheet for getting to the real value behind any project.
