How To Acquire Formal Business Analysis Training or Education

Imagine allowing a surgeon to operate on your heart or your brain when he has not yet been exposed to hands-on experience or practice. That would be ludicrous!

He may have sat through lectures or read medical books, but from the patient’s perspective, until he receives that hands-on skill-base training; there is too much to risk.

how do i land a business analyst job?

Ask A Business Analyst - Career Coaching Question

I just graduated Syracuse University with an economics degree and it is very hard to land a job, more specifically a business analyst job.

Finances are the heart of a company: without a profit, the company will fail.

So, hiring a financial business analyst to run this end of the organization is like finding the best, skilled heart surgeon when you need one.

If you were facing heart surgery, of course you would ask if the surgeon had studied to learn how the heart functions.

certified book smart, now what?

certified book smart, now what?

I completed my CS engineering degree. after that I gained an additional 6 month full time PGD course in a certain domain.

Now I have gained an experience of 1 year in total. Although my designation is Software developer.

I have mostly till now worked only on requirement phase only and not done coding at all.

I wish to become an analyst as I just can’t go for coding anymore.

How can I become a BA and how can I get a certification. Most of the certifications are based on min 2 yrs – 5yrs of experience.

i want to learn how to gather requirements for an enterprise system?

dodsonReplies (1)

Write Better Requirements

Write Better Requirements

I am trying to gain enough technical awareness to assist in the gathering of requirements for an enterprise information system.

How to gather requirements for an enterprise system

One of the steps a business analyst uses in offering sound solutions to a business problem is the requirements phase.

This process is much like mining for gold in knowing how to determine what requirements are truly valuable and important, like real gold, and knowing what to throw back, as fools gold.

This phase consists of eliciting (gathering) the requirements, analyzing the requirements and documenting the requirements.

Would you have any case studies or examples with you that I can practice and build diagrams/use cases on?   Please let me know in case you have any such material with you.

how to handle conflicting requirements

ZhongReplies (1)

Hi BABCT,

Currently I’m running into the trouble that the customer is not available:( He is so fully occupied with the internal stuffs. And I have tons of unclear requirements waiting to be confirmed with him.

It seems there is no way to get him.

Also, the system is pretty large, so we divide into 2 groups and develop in parallel.

Hence there might be some functions that overlap each other.

Whenever the 2 parts get merged, a lot of conflicts and duplicates need to be cleared, which is really really a big headache.

The Power of Requirements Analysis Part One

Business Analysts TrainingReplies (4)

What is a Requirement?

Software is everywhere in our lives today. From your online banking system to your microwave oven, software applications play a vital role in everyday life. Why do we rely so heavily on software applications? The reason is that they achieve a goal or solve a problem for us. In other words, they have properties that fill a need for the user.

A Requirement is the description of the properties of a product that satisfy the consumer’s need.

Put a different way: A Requirement is a condition or capability needed by a stakeholder to solve a problem or achieve an objective (IIBA, 2008)
