I have over all 15 yrs experience.. i do not have IT program exp. But basically a computer science student .. periodically i am learning power BI .. aii tools .. some glimpsess of Agile.. now my question is i wish to completely transform my career towards Buisiness support .. or intelligence or analysis.. now what is your advice and show me a road map.

      Hi Ria - Thank you for your message. I think it will be hard to provide a complete response via a comment but my thoughts are that - given your current experience - Business Analyst or Business Support would be good roles to get in. Business Intelligence/analytics will be more technical - if you enjoy working in Power BI or other visualisation tools - that might be a good option. but you like interacting with business/co-ordinating things, writing requirements, building process maps then Business Analyst role would be good. I think it will be easy for you to transition to a Business Analyst role rather than a Business Intelligence related role. I would suggest reading the BABOK and taking the ECBA certification. This would help in understading the role better.

    • @MutuMurugesan
      @MutuMurugesan 23 дні тому

      Hi - Business Analyst is definitely a good fit since you have the testing background. I'd definitely suggest getting into business analysis - with your MBA, you will have so many opportunities open up once you start as a Business Analyst. You should aim to switch to a management role eventually. Business Analyst is really the foundation for future roles. Depending on your interest you can go towards product management, team manager, business analytics manager, etc. This might depend on your specialisation and interest. Whatever is it is that you do - make sure it aligns with your strengths and interest.

      Operations related roles are definitely suited to any gender. I think the BA pay scale is better. I think the scope is way better for a BA as you will still be involved with tech related projects. In this day and age I would recommend staying connected to tech. From BA you can easily switch to any kind of managerial roles - even ops related.

Due to some circumstances I was not able to study that. So it's been three months after my graduation. So I want to be a business analyst. I have no idea about this. First give me (as a subscriber) a road map and complete coverage of business analysis course in near future, so that some one like me who cannot afford a costly couse can become a business analyst. ❤
