BA Industry Trend 2019

According to government statistics the prospects for the broader business analysis profession are for strong future growth and lower unemployment. This is supported by industry surveys, such as the IIBA 2019 Business Analysis Salary Survey, which indicates prospects and salaries increasing on an international basis.

The survey indicates that the core skills in demand have not changed: problem solving, critical thinking, decision making, customer experience, user stories, change management, Agile, negotiation and design thinking. – Find relevant business analyst courses. –
