Have you noticed the increasing demand for business analysts with stronger software skills or a wider range of skill sets?
Because this is a top hiring trend, business analysts have expressed concern about the range of skillsets requested for on job postings.
Some of these strong concerns are often worded as:
-
What software skills do business analysts need?
-
Should business analysts be made to learn computer programming?
-
Which software programs are required for business analysis jobs?
