Working as an Agile Business Analyst at Redgate is great because my whole stakeholder group is accessible and so engaged. I have the freedom to choose how to work with them and to create and use any technique I like to reach our project deliverables. My personal development and that of the business analysis function are important to Redgate, and that feels awesome. Zara Sheldrake, Business Analyst
