Since mid-2008 the US economy has been struggling. Not so much with growth or corporate profit issues, but certainly with job development and the tax revenues that come with jobs. So companies make money but workers struggle with more work, less time and reduced return on effort. At the same time, government institutions (state,local and Federal) are struggling with mounting debt and increased service requests. The result: the currently employed are stuck in the middle and that means consistent change and instability
The above issues are Macroeconomic issues. This presentation digs deeper into the micro-issues caused by unstable Macroeconomic impact on the roles of the Business Analyst. In this presentation we will look at the past roles of the BA, we will discuss how the IIBA view of BA work has significantly changed industry prospective on what a BA does and how this change has impacted PM / BA interaction. We will discuss how, as economic instability grew, the outsourcing trend, the continued mainstreaming of Agile methods, where the BA fits into these changes. In the end we will discuss potential future outcomes and the skills and tools BAs need to consider for 2012 and beyond.
Information for this presentation was gained through three years of salary surveys done by ASPE-SDLC on both the PM and BA roles, multiple customer interviews related to training and skills development, discussions with thought leaders, and reviewing trends in training courses requested and taken.
This presentation is not a technical deep dive, but a detailed research analysis of direction for the BA role based on industry requirements and economic realities.
