Introduction<

Business analysis as a discipline has evolved from work previous allotted to project managers as businesses have grown more complex, and projects more multi-faceted.

What qualifications do you need to become a business analyst?

Business analysts need a good mix of ‘soft-skills’ and ‘hard-skills.’ You will need to be good at solving problems and analysing data. You will also need to have excellent communication skills.

The path you might take will depend on your qualifications, education and experience. Many analysts begin in a technical background such as software development. This is helpful, as IT systems and databases can often form a major part of a businesses’ development plans. {"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"EducationEvent","name":"PRINCE2 Practitioner (with Foundation) course","startDate":"2026-11-02","endDate":"2026-11-05","description":"PRINCE2 Practitioner (with Foundation) course","url":"https://www.knowledgetrain.co.uk/project-management/prince2/prince2-course/prince2-practitioner","eventStatus":"EventScheduled","eventAttendanceMode":"OnlineEventAttendanceMode","audience":{"@type":"Audience","name":"
