Hello! I’m Yulia Kosarenko, the owner and principal of Why Change Consulting Inc. Before I tell you more about myself, let me explain where the name “Why Change” comes from. An effective change starts with knowing WHY - your strategy and business objectives. This strategy then needs to be shaped into views that can be communicated to your employees - your target business capabilities and operating model. That, in turn, will drive the changes that you choose to implement to achieve your objectives. Without clear communication of the strategy, how can business requirements accurately reflect your desired target state?

Great Video. I would like to know about how BA's are using power BI. Will be helpful if you share any video related to that.

Question, in my current and past role as a BA I don't have access to our SQL database even though I asked my dev manager but they insisted that only devs can access the DB. What am I supposed to do in this case ?

[@WhyChange]

BA usually don't get access to production databases to avoid the overload, however, access to a data warehouse where the historical copy of the data is stored (or any other data storage that feeds your analytics) should not be a big issue. You would only need read-only access, not full access. Sometimes, there are special views created for analysts to query instead of the tables - I would ask about that as well.
