So Who Has An Opinion?

  1. The Agile evangelists would say it is a skill the entire team needs.
  2. The IIBA would say it is a role that needs to grow in order for companies to gain competitive advantage with their technology deployments and internal automation.
  3. PMI® has also spoken on this topic. Their position, based on the certification they developed (PMI-PBA) is it’s a skill successful project managers add to their tool kit of skills and techniques.

What can be factually attested to is the following; as SDLC practitioner positions like developers, testers and architects were being outsource, larger enterprise organizations depended on building software and systems for competitive advantage have been hiring Business Analysts.

Just look at Indeed or Dice or Monster and see which tech jobs are HOT and Business Analyst will be in the top 5.

This presentation will break out the current trends in the software development industry and where BA is seen as skill and were it is being built out as a role.

From there David will take a look at the pros and cons of each view and where things may end up in the end. Ultimately giving you critical information as you plan your career growth goals for 2015 and beyond.
