In the process, the business analyst interacts with the technical team of the project and with the customer. At the initial stage of his work, he will have to overcome internal barriers and fear of talking to an almost stranger, if not even more – be ready to defend your point of view, be persistent, asking a lot of questions. This is what the course participants will learn at Olesia’s trainings.
A good business analyst is situationally aware. He always keeps an ear to the ground and knows what the IT industry is currently living and what experts and even futurists predict.
Today, even with a very great desire, it is impossible to live in an information vacuum, everyone reads news reports. However, a business analyst is focused on technology and can immediately say, for example, which standards for the data transmission exist in countries around the world, Europe, Asia and specifically in Ukraine, which technologies are trending, and which only have gained popularity. In addition, you need to know the basic professional terminology in order to successfully blend into the profession.
And although this range of skills is universal for many professions in the IT field, they will be considered in the context of the profession of business analyst.
Olesia has over 5 years of work in IT companies, so she knows how the processes are built from the inside: the work of project teams, resource allocation, evaluation of the results, work with trackers and reporting. Olesia is sure that the training of future business analysts will be complex and fundamental with the Soft Skills block.
