Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.
Would you like some help in your search?
As an IT business analyst, you’ll enjoy exploring and evaluating client data to solve problems and make business improvements. Learn more about a career as an IT business analyst, find out what it involves and what you’ll need to study and do to get a role.
You’ll want to use an entry level role in IT business analysis to gain as much experience as possible across multiple projects. You may then choose to specialise in one area like data analytics.
Once you’ve established yourself and have a proven track record, you could progress to a more senior level or head up an IT team. If you can demonstrate a wealth of experience after five to ten years, you could become a director or executive.
It is common for IT business analysts to become self-employed or work as consultants, project managing for different companies.
Once you have enough experience you might decide to set up your own consultancy business or you could develop your project management skills and oversee larger projects.
With training, you could move into another area of IT such as IT architecture or systems design.
Professional organisations you could join include The Institution of Analysts and Programmers (IAP), The International Institute of Business Analysis UK (IIBA UK), and The Chartered Institute for IT (BCS).
