    This was great, I am actually interested in being a product manager, however I think this interview is useful to anyone in technology. Thank you Ilyas Bakouch for taking the time.

    When you say you take business requirements then how is the role different from Business Analyst

    • @tryexponent
      @tryexponent  2 роки тому +1

      Business analyst is usually more around communicating to clients and stakeholders about IT plans and problems. Solutions architect's job is to implement it.

      @@tryexponent so is it more like Business administration?

    • @anahash3221
      @anahash3221 Рік тому +1

      for someone non IT is it easy to be a business analyst or it requires technical background?? i think solutions architect is quite technical , looks liek one needs to know a lot for this.

      A solution architect uses high level business requirements (functional) and non functional requirements (such as performance, latency, volume, availabilty, scalability, security,...) and come up with a solution that will fit . the BA works with the business on detailed business requirements (such as, screems in UI, transitions between web pages,.....). the SA needs to make sure what's being developed aligns with what has been proposed as a solution. Let's take an exmple of a business requirement that involves the interaction between many systems and the sourcing the data from different sources, the SA needs to work with many stakeholders (data architects, infrastructure team, network team, security team, compliance team,...) and come up with a solution that will fit the business functional requirements and non functional requirements. once the solution has been decided and approved, the implementation team can start working on it (BAs, scrum teams, devops,....... ), the SA will also work with them during the implementation phase to make sure everything is being built according to the proposed solution.

    Could have explained that difference between product management and solutions architect role more clearly. Was very hard to follow
