BA

While some become BA by accident, others become so through dedicated training and practice. However, Barbara A. Carkenord, Author of Seven Steps to Mastering Business Analysis writes – “Business analysis is not a job; it is a profession. A person who does not feel passionate about this role will not excel.”




Hence, the determination and the passion to excel is the first and prime most requirement in the career path of a Business Analyst.




Typically, most of the job opportunities will be classified generically as ‘Business Analyst’. However, there are 3 broad types of Business Analysts: Generalist, Specialist and Hybrid. Understanding these categorizations and their attached functions are a must to give a head start to a business analyst career. Each of these categories have a different level of job profile that will also require the candidate to scale up his/her competencies.




A brief outline of each category of Business Analysts:




Generalist: The broad process or service in which a generalist business analyst will function will be business management consultancy, portfolio management, BA program lead, etc.




Specialist: A specialist BA will be forming part of advanced technical responsibilities and tasks like business intelligence analysis, system analysis, business process analysis, business rules analysis, etc. A specialist BA will be an industry domain expert and can function from the role of an IT strategist or Process Architect.




Hybrid: A hybrid BA is someone who handles both the roles of generalist and specialist. On a business function level, they will be dealing with middle to senior level product related issues. Typically they rank in the position of CXO or Enterprise Architect. Significant domain expertise and technical credentials are required to be a Hybrid BA.




Grooming your individual self to become a Business Analyst




 Knowing what lies ahead




 As a prelude to getting on with Business Analyst certification and training, it is necessary to know what lies ahead in the roles and responsibilities of a Business Analyst. The BABOK (Business Analyst Book of Knowledge) issued by the IIBA lays down the exhaustive list of roles, responsibilities and duties that a BA is required to discharge under his/her professional capacity. Scanning through the requirements and comparing them with your current level of professional experience, academic credentials will give you an understanding of where you stand on the way to become a BA.

The need for a certification




The entire process of business analyst training and placement will polish your management and business analysis skills to finesse. It will lead to further reading, understanding and application of business rules that will form an integral part of your everyday routine. Moreover, a certification is a good start to the career where continued education is the norm for ensuring success. A Business Analyst certification from an authorized body will also add credibility to your professional profile while scouting for employment.




Selecting an ideal mode of training




Classroom training is not the only option available to a BA aspirant. There are online training programs available for BA certification that will prove worthy, both qualification wise and money wise. Online training will prove to be beneficial if you are a working professional who has little time to spare for personal classroom based training sessions. It is recommended to do a homework of what kind of training suits you the best to get the best of a business analyst training program.
