The BA of the Future and How to Get There
Presented by Matthew Leach, Senior Director, NTT Data, Inc.
The role of the Business Analyst has been constantly evolving and that is truer today than
ever. No longer are organizations looking for a BA who can
simply elicit requirements and create and a requirements document. BA’s are
being asked to work at higher levels of the organization. They need to not only
understand business and technology, but they need to understand business
strategy and long-range planning. The stakeholders that BA’s are working with
are also changing. No longer are limited to Business application users and
middle managers. Increasingly they need to meet with senior managers and C-level
executives. BA’s require new experiences and new tools to meet new challenges.
We will describe the new demands we are seeing from our clients. As the nature
of the work and the stakeholders change, the BA needs to have more tools in his
or her toolbox.
In this context, this presentation will focus on the following: 1. What are the nature of these new interactions and new stakeholders? 2. What are the new experiences and tools required? 3. How can BA’s acquire the necessary experience and tools?
1. Understand the
changing role of the BA.
2. Provide
participants an overview of the new skills required.
3. Provide a road map
to acquirement
