How can priority queues improve payment system efficiency?
Cut-off times and value dates are also to be kept in mind. A transaction may have high priority but cut off may be 2 hours away...while a low priority transaction may be near cut off and will need to be cleared Payment purpose codes should also be considered. For instance a Salary / payroll payment would be higher priority compared to a vendor payment

How do you balance business analysis and other priorities?
Learn to say "NO". Its ok to say "NO". Its ok to say "I am loaded with tasks X and Y and Z" and its ok to ask "Can you please give this task to someone else as I am tied up until dd-mm-yyyy". Many times good business analysts and domain experts will be sought after by many in the company and their bandwidth gets stretched. Hence they need to cleverly prioritize.

The primary motive of Ullas is to recognize academic excellence in students from the economically challenged sections of our society and encourage the “Can do” spirit towards chasing their dreams and aspirations. Very early in its evolution, Ullas decided to focus its energies on students during the most vulnerable stage in their journey – adolescence! This would translate into students from Class (Grade) 9th to 12th.
