GROW YOUR CAREER WITH A BUSINESS ANALYST MENTOR
Making an impact every day, in everything we do
Work out your need, find the person (or two) and take on the responsibility to grow your career with a business analyst mentor, but make sure you get a good one.
Having somebody strong provide you with support by sharing their experience and wisdom is not a new concept, but having been fortunate to have strong mentors in every phase of their life — whether parents, teachers or lecturers — millennials have a firm belief that mentorship will flow right on into the workplace.
Mentors can help you learn new skills, navigate your career, and provide support and advice when you need it.
A business analysis mentor can introduce you to new opportunities and help you network with other professionals. Having a mentor is a great way to get ahead in your career and set yourself up for success.
A great mentoring relationship allows the mentee to feel comfortable and supported while allowing the mentor to share their knowledge and improve their leadership abilities. Mentorships in the workplace often occur between a manager or leader and an entry-level professional.
Value of business analysis
Importance of a Business Analyst Mentor
- The primary function of a business analyst is to identify and clarify the needs of the business group on the project. Once the client identifies the overall project goal, it's the business analyst’s responsibility to develop a thorough understanding of that goal and ensure the functionality will yield the desired result.
- What is often overlooked, however, is how a good business analyst maximizes the efficiency of the project team. While the development team works to define the technical direction and build the solution features, the business analyst works behind the scenes to provide timely information, clarify questions, remove roadblocks and ensure functional development is moving the project toward a successful conclusion.
