Business Analysis Is Not About the Job Title

We do this by offering business analysts training and a business analyst certification called the ACBA. Many times, students of ours tell us “my job title isn't business analyst.” While that might be true, regardless of your job title, you might still have the same responsibilities and tasks as a business analyst would. This is exactly why job titles for BAs are so confusing. If you're wondering whether you should pursue a career in business analysis, in this video, I'll provide some insights into what makes a successful BA, business analyst responsibilities, and the different business analyst roles and career paths available to someone with BA skills. Finally, I'll compare the BA role with other related positions, such as IT Lead and Project Manager. While you may not have the job title, oftentimes you probably should consider yourself a business analyst if you find yourself analyzing and improving business processes, communicating effectively with stakeholders, and using data to make informed decisions.
