A role in IT business analysis typically means you’ll get involved with changes in a client’s business. You’ll investigate business procedures, analyse findings and recommend changes and improvements. You’ll need to explain the benefits and risks your recommendations could bring and assess cost and impact.
You’ll enjoy working with others and be a strong communicator, inspiring confidence and addressing any concerns your client might raise. You’ll work with both internal and external stakeholders, usually managing multiple projects with competing deadlines. Although this might be stressful at times it is also rewarding as businesses see the benefits of your proposals.
