Hello Peter Lutz -

Many people write to me to ask how they can
get started as a Business Analyst. Here are
my thoughts on what you can do to get started
in that career.

An Analyst (Business or System) is typically
in a leadership role on a project team. So
the hiring manager often wants someone with
some years of experience for the job. This
does not necessarily mean experience as an
Analyst, but some years of experience and
maturity.

I started out as a Senior Scientific
Programmer, then worked as a Field
Engineer in a sales organization, then
became a Business Analyst. This gave me
technical and communication experience,
plus about 12 years of work experience
before I started working as a BA.

I know other very fine BAs who started
as Project Managers, Newspaper Reporters,
or experts in their industry (banking,
insurance, etc).

The rest of the article discusses how
someone with little experience can get
into the Business Analysis field. You
will find the article at:

PS - I'm keeping the emails shorter by posting
the main body of the article on the blog. That
also gives you a place to leave comments on the
article.


I look forward to hearing from you!
