For some of us – the role of the BA is very new. For others – this is old news. Regardless, the landscape for the BA has changed significantly over the past few years: certification, Body of Knowledge, Associations just for BAs and web portals to meet in. So what does all of this mean to the Career Path of the BA? What are the options now? Have things changed for the BA professional? Is a Senior BA a logical step to a BA or is this a completely different role? Are the skill sets of a project manager compatible with those of a BA? What is a Business Architect and is this something I should be working towards? This panel will touch on all of this and more.
Skill Level: Everyone
