4 Reasons Why Sometimes It's Difficult To Find The Right Business Analyst For Your Project

Written by Harry Madusha -?

It can be quite challenging sometimes to find the ideal Business analyst for your project. Here are a few reasons why it happens:

i. Most Business analysts usually become very industry focused over time ?

For instance: Yemi is a business analyst who has been working in the Insurance sector for too long, Yemi has gotten used to the insurance value chain and the insurance role of Business analysis and eventually he becomes a subject matter expert in Insurance hence hiring Yemi for a different project might not work, Yemi might say 'No, that's not my field'.

ii. Certain company founders are perfectionist ??

Some founders and CEOs set extremely high standards for their HR hence there's always a constant hiring and firing pendulum. The perfect BA doesn't exist, business analysis is not fortune telling. A client who doesn't understand this might find themselves always seeking for the ideal BA.

iii. The Client budget VS Client expectations dilemma ?? ♂?

This is very common in every sector – where a client budget is too small to execute the project but yet they expect a hundred percent. In this scenario, finding the right business analyst for your project would be tough.?

iv. Testing all BA skills during an Interview is not always possible ??

Especially the soft skills, one might hire a business analyst who lacks integrity, lacks time management, someone who is impatient or perhaps overly wise. Negligence towards the soft skills can cause you money and very importantly, your time.?

Hiring the right Business analyst requires patience, and always trust your gut, it helps too. And if you're hiring through a HR firm ensure they know what they are doing because some are not familiar with the hiring process for Business analysts.?
