Road to Business System Analyst from Businss Analyst (Functional) 

Hi All,

I would like to know how can I get myself in the domain of Business System Analyst. I am Presently working as a Business Analyst (Functional & Process).

My current role involves following responsibilities:Client Interactions: understand  business objectives and processes. Requirement Gathering Sessions: map business processes GAP analysis, & Process Improvement. MS Visio to map Business Processes.

I think this role is more of Process based instead of a role of Business Analyst.

I want to know how I can get myself to the direction of a true role of Business Analyst. Where in I am able to differentiate between the requirements of the client, understand their systems and involve systems team to build a new one or change existing one. Writing Use cases and preparing SRS. Is there any course which I can enroll myself for alternatively, should I be looking for a job change (But the only concern is why would somebody give me a job without Prior experience).

Please share your thoughts & suggestions.

Thanks in anticipation

Re: Road to Business System Analyst from Businss Analyst (Functional) 

Hi Vikram,

Welcome to the community!

You have asked some interesting questions based (I think - please let me know if wrong) on definitions of Business Analyst and Business Systems Analyst current in the organisation you work for.

This is hardly surprising as there is no universal definition of Business Analyst that is universally applied.

Given this is the case, I would suggest you analyse your requirements for your career and then plan a project to deliver those requirements.

Sorry if this seems vague but there are so many variables and constraints that are special to you and your situation that I think this is the only pragmatic thing to do.

I hope the article helps.

All the best,

Guy
