hi, ive been hired as functional analyst but its focused on the implemention of sap and manage processes (learning them, how to develope them with the implemention of the erp or other softwares) I thought this role should be called more Functional business analyst. Any suggestions?
A "function" is typically referring to a function of the business. So it's redundant to call it a functional business analyst. A functional analyst is a specific kind of business analyst (domain specific business analyst). Ultimately, you can call yourself whatever makes you happy because as mentioned, it's more about the work you do and expertise you develop vs the specific words used in a job title.
Yes, it's true... the job role names are quite confusing. I worked as "Business Process Owner", "Business Operations Analyst" and "ERP Business Analyst" for IT companies and my IT knowledge is relatively low. I keep receiving job offers that have nothing to do with my experience but anyways... Great video, clarifying and helpful!
The videos are good but would it be possible to have more images/presentation slides etc - I have to keep replaying the video to fully understand each point. Thank you for the videos they do help alot!
"Consultant" basically refers to how you're hired (you can consult as a business analyst, project manager, developer, dog trainer, etc). My guess however this is implementing financial systems (SAP, Oracle, etc). My guess is this falls under Functional Analyst, which is already just doing business analysis activities with a specialization in financial systems. They don't become business analyst over time, because they already are business analysts.
If you understood the BABOK enough to pass the test, you would know exactly what you need to do to position yourself to get a BA job. Not having a degree means you'll just have to prove you have the competency & knowledge to do the job through other work experience. However, in order to qualify to sit for the CCBA test, you need 2-3 years of experience as a BA. I think maybe the ECBA would be more appropriate.
I'm not sure what you mean by abstract, but a functional analyst is a business analyst that specializes in a specific business function (HR, According, Finance, Sales, E-commerce, Law, etc.) So they would have a very deep understanding of the business functions they represent.
Short answer: None of them. They are the about the same. Long answer: That's complicated to answer because as I said in the video, there is a lot of overlap and lack on consistency across organizations for how these roles truly differentiate. That being said, for entry level, across the board they are about even. After that, it would depend on the organization or industry. It will come down to how in demand your specific software and industry skills are, but that is true across all three.
I have reviewed the SA role for many years in undergrad and this was the best video.

Hi Angelo, how are you? How can I reach out for the questions?
The description has information for contacting me.
Functional finance consultant.. What is exact business roles and responsibility. Can they become Business analyst with time
"Consultant" basically refers to how you're hired (you can consult as a business analyst, project manager, developer, dog trainer, etc).

Angleo, I don't have a degree but just passed the IIBA CCBA test. Do I have a chance on getting a BA job?

How functional analyst requires knowledge of abstract spaces in business
I'm not sure what you mean by abstract, but a functional analyst is a business analyst that specializes in a specific business function (HR, According, Finance, Sales, E-commerce, Law, etc.) So they would have a very deep understanding of the business functions they represent.
@@AngeloTheBA Substitute "According" with "Accounting" above...I think?).
@@scholarlyanalyst7700 Good catch. I'm sure auto correct had the best intentions.
@@AngeloTheBA Autocorrect is a joke!

Witch of the 3 roles has the best pay?
