Afraid AI Will Replace Your BA Skills? Watch This.

If you’ve ever wondered whether relying on AI too much might actually weaken your business analysis skills, you’re not alone. Many business analysts quietly worry that using AI tools will make them rusty, less valuable, or even replaceable. While that fear is real, it’s also not the full story. In this video, Laura shares a grounded perspective on how AI fits into your growth as a BA. You’ll learn why, even when AI helps with the draft, you still own the output: you’re responsible for the accuracy, clarity, and relevance of what gets delivered, as well as how you bring stakeholders along. You’ll also see how AI can open up more space for higher-level work like strategy alignment, facilitation, and solution evaluation. Laura also calls out the real risk for newer BAs: leaning on AI before they’ve built their own foundation in core skills like process mapping and use cases. If you’re an aspiring or practicing business analyst who wants to use AI wisely, this video will help you see how to protect and strengthen your skills.
