If you have an inclination towards the BA space, here\u2019s what your personality should look like..<\/p>\n
Like resolving problems?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Do you get very frustrated when being dragged through a poorly thought-out process.<\/p>\n
Concept Detector?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
You might not be the one with the best concepts, but you know a great concept when you see one. And you are motivated to see through that idea when everyone else\u2019s attention has moved on to the next great thing.<\/p>\n
Help People Communicate:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
You always seem to sense when people are talking\u00a0to <\/em>each other but not communicating\u00a0with\u00a0<\/em>each other. And you\u2019re at your happiest when jumping into the discussion to clarify things.<\/p>\n
Like to work independently?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Maybe as much as two thirds of your day. Business analysts tend to spend about 2\/3 of their time working independently and 1\/3 of their time in meetings and interacting with stakeholders.<\/p>\n
Also a great team -player?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
If you had to spend the other third of your day all alone working on some technical problem or doing repetitive work, you might just pack up your things and quit.<\/p>\n
Are you a bit like a 2-year-old?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Always asking why, why, why. (Although good BAs ask why with finesse, something we teach you how to do in our Essential Elicitation Skills course.)<\/p>\n
Like to build on your deep business experience?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Whether as a subject matter expert, technical writer, project manager, sales person or recruiter, just to name a few possibilities. All of this experience you have adds up to something and has prepared you to be a great business analyst.<\/p>\n
