❓ Frequently asked questions (Q&A)
A business analyst is a specialist who understands business tasks and translates them into clear requirements for IT, products, or implementation teams.
Business Analysts communicate with the business, gather and analyze requirements, describe processes, create documentation, and help the team implement solutions.
To enter the profession, you need to master the logic of analyzing business problems, working with requirements, basic BA tools, and learn how to apply them in practical cases.
No. Business analysts do not write code. To get started, it is more important to be able to analyze processes, requirements, and system logic than to have technical implementation skills.
The Business Analyst is responsible for analysis and requirements, while the Product Manager is responsible for the product, priorities, and development. These are different roles with different focuses.
The Project Manager manages deadlines and resources, while the Business Analyst manages requirements and the business logic of the solution.
Key skills — analytical thinking, working with requirements, understanding business processes, structuring information, and communicating with stakeholders.
Yes. BA often comes from HR, Project, Operations, and QA, as these roles are already related to analysis, processes, and communication.
It is worth starting with an understanding of the role of BA, working with business problems, requirements, and processes, and then moving on to tools and practice.
The job requires systematic thinking and responsibility, but does not require a deep technical background. The difficulty lies in the ability to think and negotiate.
