I was just wondering if anyone could shine some insight on a position that is marked BA - Cross Functional. What does this exactly mean in your opinion.? Sorry for the one off question but I really have no idea what it means. Maybe it is meant to be that way.
Hi,
A bit of context would be great. But here is how I look at the 'Cross functional' aspect in a BA's job profile:
1. Expertise across more than 1 domain (business and/or technology) :
In case of Telecom industry, a BA can be cross functional if he/she understands Service Assurance and CRM.
A cross functional BA can be well versed in the capabilities of traditional 3 tier architecture applications and/or using Big Data concepts in his/her solution to solve a business problem.
2. Readiness to don more than one hat (which is always the case, stated explicitly or not :) )
Requirements, design + tracking projects + managing funds for the projects + people management + maybe even code a bit
In the title of the position. I believe number 2 in your definitions nails it. Of course that's just my opinion. Thanks.
