Thanks a lot for your inspiration and support...🥰🙏
My pleasure!
Depends on the role but excel skills is good
Hi i am planning to pursue masters in business analytics from online mode . Currently working as a software developer in an MNC and want to shift my role to business analyst. So should i go ahead with it or not?
I think focus your technical skills on data analytics and business analytics....there will be a lot of work with BAs with strong data analytics and data analysis experience in future....(I think ;))
Helpful ☺️
I am glad to hear that.
Thanks for useful tips!
it makes me wonder if they're going to build new business analyst tools rooted in AI that will zoom past all the BA's that don't use it
They might....that is exactly why I am making these videos to help everyone prepare!
very useful, thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you so much Esta for your sharing all knowledge. ^^
My pleasure!
Esta, as usual, this video is very enlightening. You touched on some of the issues I have been concerned about in adopting AI. Now, I think we actually have more opportunities to structure our systems, work flows, human and other resources first, before engaging AI fully. We also need to take into consideration cultural aspects and how that will influence or train AI models, resulting in new ways of thinking.
Thank you for your comments. Yes, there is much to consider but as long as we all keep learning and sharing we will find our way ;)
Can i start learning with my smartphone while I save up for a good laptop or i need a good laptop to learn
Ive just stumbled into these type, im more of a DFD guy. Do you have any examples of creatong one? Or plan to have? Id rather learn thisnwith an example than just reading the BABOK
I have an example and template in my 50 Project Template Bundle... have you checked that out yet? Drop me an email and I can share a specific example too.
Hi Esta, A business analyst must know: D Depends on role?
It can also depend on the role for sure...
I think it depends on the role! In more modern times now I think it’s also useful to have overview of cloud etc
Yes, absolutely. With AI tools everywhere, we have to continuously learn to adapt and learn new tools/software and skills.
Thank you for sharing. I am an aspiring BA currently in a graduate program and I relate to the challenges of self doubt and complex subject matter. I am fresh out of university and so I doubt myself a lot when I am doing my work which negatively impacts my self confidence and how I carry myself, my productivity and how others perceive me. The team I am in is a very techincal team in finance with senior developers/analysts and so the work I am currently doing also involves dealing with SMEs that are much more experienced who know more about the work I am doing than myself which makes me feel like I am not qualified to be in the same room as everyone else. I am currently studying towards the ECBA certification exam and get familiar with BA techniques/tools/best practices which I hope will make me feel more confident in myself and apply a different mindset when dealing with SMEs where instead of being overwhelmed with everything I don't know, I still try to learn and fill in the gaps.
You should hang in the there and remind yourself that all good BAs goes through this stage of self-doubt during their careers, especially at the start. Keep learning what Business Analysis is and you will over time learn how to add your own value in those rooms full of SMEs. You definitely also belong there, and try to compare yourself only with yourself and not with others who may have years of experience. Good luck and keep learning, you will find your place as a BA in time.
I didnt catch what degree did you graduate from?
I did PMP and many points in common with BA!!! Waw
thank you so much, Esta. It's great inspiration for me
My pleasure and thank you for your feedback!
thanks !! really so helpful
My pleasure! Thank you for your feedback.
Hi, Are the course contents/syllabus for IIBA and BCS the same? What I mean is will the areas covered and the topics on which one will be tested be the same?
Whilst the general content is the same, the IIBA tends to cover a broader spectrum of Business Analysis that my experience of the BCS exams. So if you decide to do both sets of exams (IIBA and BCS) you will need to study the curriculums separately to pass each exam but some content will overlap.
Thank you for this video. Yes, I have used Tableau. Although I still consider myself to be in the beginner stage of learning it, I like how it can easily help people gain insights from data and make decisions. It is very user friendly and easy to learn.
Thank you for sharing that! I think it is a valuable skill to learn for the future of Business Analysis. Well done for embarking on that journey!
Some really good points. Thanks!
Glad you liked it, thank you.
