One of the key distinguishing function that differentiates a Business Analyst from a Project Manager is the practice of researching and discovering the requirements of a system from users, customers, and other stakeholders i.e. "Requirements Elicitation". One of the trainee got confused here as Requirements Gathering is different from Requirements Elicitation. This function should have been in slide no. 7 otherwise the overall presentation is valuable and informative.
HI i just went through Business Analyst Certification Training (ECBA) - Session I and it was very informative. Just wanted to check if there is any continuation on this topic like the Session 2 and so on for ECBA specifically.
Thanks. You can watch th-cam.com/video/DjwU73haQrM/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/gO03J3weI_4/w-d-xo.html. These videos talk about IIBA BABOK guide. You can also visit our blog to get more tutorials on business analysis. businessanalyst.techcanvass.com
Hi I enjoyed the class and it is very informative. Thank you for doing this. But, I have an advice, Their were a couple of questions by the fellow listeners about an example of an ERP system, and how the business analyst would be able to explain about the ERP requirements to the customer and the technical team. In my example, we can use SAP. SAP is huge and we have to customize the system based on the customers requirement. If a BA comes from non sap background, how would he be able to convert the technical language to the customer language. Some times, when we sit with the ABAB Developers it is difficult to understand their language, and it gets even tough to explain it to the customer. Therefore, is the only solution to this - Is to have Domain Knowledge ( But how deep can we know in SAP, because its an ocean) , or is it just that , we have to ask every little question to the ABAP Developer , basically not be shy and ask them everything and anything until we are clear? Another question, the PM involvement in any Changes in the Development. So, as per my understanding, the PM will only be involved when the project plan is getting delayed or is not as per the track because of this particular change/ risk raised? My current Project manager sits with us in the Change Meetings, RAIDD Meetings ( for huge risks) along with SME's, BA and ABAP Developers. He basically is the decision maker for the change. Any change that is required in the project must be signed off by him, because he should answer the executives. Is this the right process? I am not sure if i have got your answer right, because in this video, you told us that, PM is way too busy to get involved in this kind of meetings. But if a change involves project delay and cost of money , then it is important for a PM to be involved. Please advise. Thank you again for the video.
Thanks Anija. Good to know that you liked the video.. Regarding your query about making changes and handling requirements in SAP. Typically, just like any other software application, a business analyst (Functional consultant in SAP environment) does not need to know about the programming language (be it ABAP or Java or .net). Your job as a BA is about translating the business requirements to a language, an ABAP developer can understand. Similarly, once it is completed by ABAP developer, understanding it from the developer and conveying it to the customer (again in their language), is BA's responsibility. Now, in order to do so, BA does not need to understand ABAP but must understand the SAP module, in which the work is going on, be it FICO or projects or HR? Isn't it..If we consider a BA to know programming language, we are restricting his/her scope of work to limited projects. That's not the way, it is supposed to work. As far knowing SAP modules (or what you are referring to domain knowledge), a BA must know it, there are no two ways about it. Saying SAP is Ocean, so is banking, Insurance, Finance etc. The fact is that developing strong knowledge does take years and it's natural.There are no short cuts
The second question was about the PM involvement in change meetings...Let's clarify it...A PM is the overall in-charge of the project and has the final responsibility for the project. So, PM will always review the impact analysis of every change (Cost, timeline and effort). The approach could be different depending on important. PM can be physically present during the discussion or will review the impact after you as a BA finish it...But in every case, PM will review it before it is sent to the customer.
HI i just went through Business Analyst Certification Training (ECBA) - Session I and it was very informative. Just wanted to check if there is any continuation on this topic like the Session 2 and so on for ECBA specifically. because there have a problem to find sesion 2 and more related on BCBA
Hi Atif, yes it is. Try and connect the BABOK topics and activities to a project activities. Also don't try to memorize everything. Finally, make a list key terms and their meanings used in BABOK as that sometimes confuses.
is it possible for a student who is a science stream ( i mean to say is that a student without IT or Business background) can become bUsiness analyst by doing BA course.
Not at all...Business analysis activities are carried out in every software project. No matter which methodology you use. The Agile based Scrum methodology does not have a role named "business Analyst" but that is just a naming bias. Why it is not there, difficult to say. But does requirement gathering not happen in Agile? Does requirements analysis and modelling not happen in Agile? Of course, it does? These are business analysis activities.
Hello, I am an engg.graduate with no work experience. I want to enter in BA domain. So which courses should I have to learn to become a business analyst.
Hi , I got to just watch your course and its very informative. I would like to know is it wise to start with giving ECBA exam or directly give CCBA? I haven't given any certification till now but i do have an experience of 2 years working as a Business analyst. So Should i go for ECBA or CCBA? Please help
Thanks Vidya for liking our Videos. For CCBA, you will need at least 3 years of experience to be eligible. So with 2 yrs of experience, we suggest you to appear for ECBA certification.
I am from non tech background , from bpo with nine years of exp in accounts payable,vendor management . I am planning to switch my role to BA , Business analyst . As suggested , I am currently surfing to know more about ECBA Program. Kindly recommend me what is the appropriate way to start learning to enter into BA Domain. We have IT business analyst and management business analyst. Guide me how can i stat this course. Do you take courses from scatch? I am from chennai, kindly revert my uery
Yes, it's better to start at the beginning (or from the scratch) so that you have a good foundation. It is quite likely that, after 9 years of work ex, you may have to start at an entry level BA position with may be at a lower salary level. But remember, Business Analyst profile can help you grow much faster later to cover up this lean period in the beginning. IT business analyst is the way to start. I am not sure what do you mean by management business analyst?
@@TechcanvassAcademy i have gone through few online tutorials, they said IT BA and Management BA. So I got confused. However before getting into BA , do I need to mold myself with SQL or any certification which related to programming. Pls reply! Also tell me how can I start my day 1 class .
Hi Sneha, there are several professionals who have moved from even non-IT profiles to BA profile. Please watch this video where we are talking to a professional, who was a cabin crew in an airlines and became a BA. th-cam.com/video/ostXoIhs1PQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi sir, Hope you are doing well. Sir,I am B.com graduate and have a 2 years of experience in accounting and auditing. Can I join business analyst to upgrade my career. If I can which are the institute I can join for business analyst. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in Advance Nikhil Jaiswal
Yes you can. You need to focus on learning the formal BA skills as well as get ECBA certification. Also, get your resume modified to align with the entry level BA requirements, so that you get calls. You can do the course from any IIBA EEP. Techcanvass is one of them. Visit: techcanvass.com/Courses/business-analyst-training.aspx for more details
Hi Diwakar, CABA by iSQI Germany is a specialized Agile BA certification. Whereas this is an entry level general BA certification by IIBA covering both Agile and Non-Agile approaches. If you are planning to get into Business analyst profile, it is better to go for ECBA. If you have experience as a Business Analyst, you can definitely go for CABA from ISQI or AAC from IIBA. We are partners of both and you can get more details below. CABA Training: techcanvass.com/Courses/AGILE-business-analyst-professional-Training.aspx AAC Training: techcanvass.com/Courses/Agile-Analysis-Certification-Course-IIBA.aspx
Actually this covers many elicitation techniques including user stories, workshops, interviews, job shadowing etc. This was the first session where the high level overview was being given and that's the reason, not every specific things could be touched upon. But point well taken and I will pass on this to the Instructor. Thanks once again.
Yes, but it is advisable to get into business analysis with some experience. It could be in any field. But there is no restriction and you can also become a business analyst
Sir you are saying that project manager never interact wid business analyst ..... but business analyst have any problem with any customer who he will report ???
Not at all, I am not sure how did you infer this....Project Manager owns the responsibility of a project and Business Analysts have to report to them for all practical purposes.
If you are asking about ECBA Live or self-paced course, you can decide based on your availability. The Live online is conducted on the weekends only. In case your question was something else, please let us know
@@TechcanvassAcademy Am sorry, what i meant was, I wanted to begin my career as a Business Analyst and for it which course should I opt and from which university.As i came across coursera who provide certification of Business Analytics Specialization Offered by University of Pennsylvania,So little confused
Ok, So you want to build a career in Analytics. One thing you must realize that a pure analytics career does require programming and SQL skills and it takes a good amount of time to gain expertise. If you are completely new to this field, you should target a 1 year program as that is going to provide you a strong platform.
I work in a bank, will my experience in bank will help me to become a BA, especially in banking module, I work in govt bank and I have 3 yrs of experience there
@@TechcanvassAcademy I want to switch but I'm only worried about job security what if I didn't perform as they expected, leaving a govt job is a very tough task.
Private Jobs are not like Govt Jobs so yes. But as they say, you have to take the leap and it may pose risks. But reward is also in proportion to the risk. Do you have an option of taking long leave or something like that
@@TechcanvassAcademy yeah I can take sabbatical leave of 2 years, can I take a chance in between? Will the company allow me to work without leaving my job
You need to check with your Bank terms and the new company terms. Difficult to answer as we are not experts in this field. But if that is allowed, it will be safe for you.
Is the ECBA Live course and the ECBA self-paced course different in content or both are the same? I see self-paced ultimate is ₹9,516 and online course ultimate is ₹ 18,720 why this much difference? Could you please clarify? Also could you please tell me if I buy self-paced how the projects are done? Is there anyone to help to understand things in case stuck with anything, in the course lessons as well as in the projects?
Hi Swaroopa, I see that there are two differences: a) The live online training is live and you interact with trainer and can ask questions real-time b) The self-paced course does not cover Business analysis tools like Jira, MS visio and prototype tool. As far as projects are concerned, you can submit the assignment and our team will review and provide you feedback. Thanks.

Hi, I need more information that how can I join online course and appear for ECBA certification exam? I want to join as soon as possible. So kindly help me with this
Hi, I wanna know the difficulty level of passing this ECBA exam ? since I am an average student and don't have much knowledge about business analytics but I want to make a career in it . please suggest me
It's not very difficult. Multiple choice questions with no negative marking. All questions are expected to come from BABOK guide v3. However, you must go through the BABOK guide a few times to be able to answer all the questions. Try ECBA practice tests to understand the pattern
Yes, I have no IT background but I came from the business section itself. I’m from the pharmacy so working in the pharmacy gave me the insight of what business would want and gives you an idea for analysis.
Depending on your background, the number of weeks required for the preparation should be anywhere from 4-6 weeks. This does not include the course duration. During this prep period, you should go through the BABOK guide at least couple of times and practice with mock exams thoroughly till you start scoring 80% and above
Hi Gaurav, Certification is a way to get your CV differentiated for getting shortlisted and getting calls for interview. A good training program will help you learn all the skills to clear the interview as well as to perform your job responsibility
So without certification from iiba if i do any other like the training certification from your institute..then i will get calls for interview or not..or i have to iiba ceritfications only.
Sorry for late response. You can send an email to techhelp@techcanvass.co.in for faster response. Our ECBA course is a dual purpose course which also covers the practical skills for an entry level business analysts. You can learn the skills and get your resume aligned. This will help you in getting calls and clearing the interview. Appearing for ECBA is your choice. The PDUs are valid for 4 years
Not mandatory. Anyways, ECBA is a new certification and has been started from September last year. However, I would add one thing: The certifications help you in differentiating your resume from others.
Try and make short notes. Please note that you don't need to memorize anything. There are no direct questions on Techniques. The questions are related to how Techniques are used in a task. So focus on that aspect.
There are many other videos in this series. These videos are part of our Business analyst certification course. Try this list: th-cam.com/video/jmXut9C1qFU/w-d-xo.html
