Really great overview on the IT business analyst role. Often in interview it is about communicating this understanding though an example you did in your previous organization so can you share that example with actual IT tool involved and actual business need do that it also helps in the interview
This was really helpful, typically people just elaborate on the different methods ICT BAs use but I was trying to find a comprehensive breakdown on what an ICT BA does so thank you!
Thanks for the video. I've worked in a techincal role over the past 5 - 6 years in IT. Over the past year I have transistioned into a service / client management position. I'm now trying to layout my options and align a chosen path with my best interests. Naturally I gravitate towards working with clients, understanding their needs, and looking for solutions which maximise business value. Do you reckon moving towards an IT Business Analyst role seems like a good path to take?
Best of luck. I currently work as an IT Business Analyst for a global company and it’s very very challenging. And with every challenge comes a great learning opportunity. Every learning opportunity adds on to your acumen as a professional in the IT and business field. I’ve had a very rewarding experience and I feel blessed to do what I do…best of luck
@@miamiscene any tips or skills that I need to get before I get into this field? I actually still a little bit miserable but I still look forward to this career
@@nverend4450 It’s very rewarding because you are looked at as consultant for the business regarding the technology that they leverage. There are IT BA certifications that you can acquire along with a PMP certification that will help get you in the door. Sharpen up your communication skills by learning “business language” and “IT language” as well. This will allow you to be the liaison between the business and IT or vice versa.
Really appreciate the content you created. Hope you will make more content about different types of diagrams BA often use to decribes a business process and how to use them effectively. Thank you, sir!
Been a sales and business development executive for it products and a small exposure on IT Infrastructure solutions. Would business analytics elevate my career?
I appreciate this. I've been applying to a bunch of jobs, and I had forgotten about this role until I received a call to interview lol. Needed to figure out exactly what it was. I work as a SysAdmin right now, but I've been put into an informal project management role, which I've been somewhat enjoying. Recently I've decided that after about 7 years in IT I want to transition to a 'non-technical' role perhaps towards management, or Project Management; I've been getting kind of tired of being the guy pushing buttons. In your experience, does this seem like a good transition or stepping stone into the management side? Or should I try to head over into a more "supervisory" role such as a Senior SysAdmin (I have interviews for both, and this is assuming best case scenario that I receive both offers)?
Just from my own experience, a technically versed project manager can be such an asset. I have had to work with too many non-technical project managers that slowed everything down because they did not understand the technology and IT enough. So, definitely an option. I moved into management and my technical background makes a big difference in certain roles. In others I am probably missing some business and strategy knowledge which can limit how far I get.
Great explanation sir. I'm working as a software support analyst in an product based company. My roles are similar to that of BA but after the system has gone live and is in Production phase. Will it be wise for me to try transitioning into the BA role? Please advise.
I probably do not have enough information for your specific situation, but I would see it as a good move to go after a BA role. But do yourself a favor and compare the two roles and also map out where to go from there so that you have a rough idea where to take your IT career.
Hi Christoph, thank you so much for this wonderful video. I currently working as an Operations Business Analyst and hoping to pivot to IT BA, I do not have a strong IT background and was wondering if you would be kind enough to advise how or where I can acquire this knowledge. Thank you 😊
I'm a university student from Sri Lanka..so I'm reading for my business administration degree (bachelor) so after 2 years I can choose my specialization area..so now I hope to do as my specialization area business analytic or management information systems.. After completing this bachelor, I hope to immigrate to Australia. So, can I know what to do for the specialization area? And in what areas is it very possible to get PR? I hope to immigrate to Australia to do my master's program.
Take a look at this article from CIO magazine. www.cio.com/article/3269514/6-business-analyst-certifications-to-advance-your-analytics-career.html Look less for the certifications itself, but the requirements. It may point you into the right direction to bridge that gap into IT. Let me know what you think. Happy to discuss more here.
@@ITCareerGuide Actually each listings have different roles. One company's role for BA is a bit different from the other. so I get confused about Business Analyst , Technical Business Analyst and System Analyst
The day has only 24 hours. Focus on one position and be the best you can. Learn and absorb the knowledge. If there are no internal opportunities for growth later on, then switch jobs, but give yourself enough time to learn and build up experience.
I am more of a software engineer but the higher pay and the possible career advancement if I go into business analyst is huge. Is an IT business analyst a good move?
Good software engineers in the US can easily make $150K-$300K per year. IT Business Analysts will not go as high. Low to mid $100K range. You want to enjoy your work or be able to do a job long enough that you reach a financial goal before doing something different.
Hello sir, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.I'm a BBA student.Will I be eligible for IT Business Analyst job after completing MBA with specialization in Business Analytics?
It is not a bad move, but you should really map out a career plan to make sure it fits with your overall goals. Front-end developer to business analyst is a significant change. What is your end-game plan? Very different income opportunities as well.
Yes, that is possible, but you need to figure out if you can handle the stress that comes with 2 jobs - especially if the business hours are overlapping.
You want to look for courses on business data analytics, potentially some agile courses as well as there seems to be a matching trend to marry the two together. The main key item is data analytics and how to can bridge it to information technology. Most professional level certifications require a masters or a lot of work experience. You may have to settle for a different path. I am not even sure if the certifications would help that much initially.
@@ITCareerGuide I worked as a tester in Automotive company(C\C++)and I quit my job. The industry is rare and I feel like I am in dead end. Btw I’m in Southeast Asia
Helo Im on a IT learnership I have never done anything IT related I do support So I want to ask is would it be a good idea for me to do IT business analysis diploma ?
A good education will definitely help, but do enough research to make sure you are heading into the right direction. Depending on what your college or training options are, maybe take a more generic route in the beginning to understand the field and then pick the target.
Sir, I've opted for business analytics(more data specific) and project management-IT combination courses. Can I work as a Business Analyst(management role) upon completing these courses?

I am looking at this career. I graduate in May of 22 as a bachelor in Business & IT and I would love to bridge both of those skills.

What are the job roles of information technology business analysis?
Hi Kristoph! Can we get into the IT business analyst role after 1 or 2 years of help desk experience? Your reply will be helpful!
Yes you can! But you need to position yourself appropriately. Meaning, it requires some additional effort to stand out.

sir what is difference between DATA analytic and business analyst ? I wanted to do master but I don't have IT background

Thank you i really hope this helps on interview!)))
Best of luck :-)
how is it different from system analyst?
Go to Indeed or LinkedIn and look up job listings for each and compare. There are overlapping pieces and there are others that are role specific.
@@ITCareerGuide Actually each listings have different roles. One company's role for BA is a bit different from the other.
so I get confused about Business Analyst , Technical Business Analyst and System Analyst
Can you help me understand which university/college major should I choose (undergrad program) to be an IT Business Analyst?
Can you work multiple business analyst positions at once or will that be more stressful ?
The day has only 24 hours. Focus on one position and be the best you can. Learn and absorb the knowledge. If there are no internal opportunities for growth later on, then switch jobs, but give yourself enough time to learn and build up experience.
I am more of a software engineer but the higher pay and the possible career advancement if I go into business analyst is huge.

The girl in the Pre-video Lusha Commercial is my crush btw!

It is not a bad move, but you should really map out a career plan to make sure it fits with your overall goals. Front-end developer to business analyst is a significant change. What is your end-game plan? Very different income opportunities as well.
Is Business information technology degree suitable for this role?
I would think so. Read job descriptions for these type of roles to dial-in your skill set.
Hey, I was wondering what is the difference between IT business and IT commerce?
Hello Sir, can one work for two different organizations remotely?
Yes, that is possible, but you need to figure out if you can handle the stress that comes with 2 jobs - especially if the business hours are overlapping.
