InfoGraphic - Getting Started In Business Analysis |
I've seen quite a few posts on Facebook from people who want to know how to get started in a Business Analysis career.
There seems to be some confusion and some misconceptions about this.
So I've started on producing what I hope will be some useful info for aspiring Business Analysts.
Update - my course Getting Started in Business Analysis is now live and online.

Getting Started in Business Analysis
First - an InfoGraphic - Getting Started In Business Analysis - that covers some of the key points.
A sample of this is above and the full graphic is at the foot of this post.
You can download a more readable version - in .pdf format - from my Facebook group - here -

One of the key points that I've covered is BA Starting Points.
One misconception seems to be that you have to have an IT / technical background to get a job as a Business Analyst. This is not true. It may be a requirement for some BA jobs - but for many it is not. It is fairly common for BAs to be recruited from a business role.
Another misconception is that specialist business domain knowledge is needed - for example Financial Services or Logistics. Again - this is not true for all BA roles, especially at entry level.
I'll be writing a series of blog posts on this subject to add more and answer a few more questions.
I'm also working on a short training course - aimed at getting aspiring BAs on track.
The content will be based broadly on the content of the InfoGraphic.
More on that as well in due course.
