Hi,

I am Snovia and new to this group. I am working as Software Quality Engineer having 3 years of experience. I want to move towards Business Analysis. Can anyone suggest that from where I should Start? Will my previous experience be helpfull in any case? Please guide me in detail, and if there are any questions kindly let me know. I hope I will be an active member of this group. Looking for your kind suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks Jessy :)

Hi Snovia,

I also made the career change from QA engineer to Business Analyst. I found that my systems knowledge helped me be a successful BA in that same company. As a BA I learned the fundamentals of business analysis and my career emerged from there. You will gain many related BA experiences if you are being a critical consumer of requirements, running meetings, and understanding what a good requirements specification looks like. I would suggest you learn about the BA fundamentals, using resources like ModernAnalyst, and then look for ways to incorporate BA responsibilities into your work. Most BAs emerged from related roles, such as QA, by seizing opportunities to build experiences.

I talk about this more in my book as well, How to Start a Business Analyst Career.

Thanks,

Laura
