The ability to effectively use technological tools is a fundamental competency for any business analyst. In today’s fast‑paced, AI‑driven world, business analysts must harness new technologies to stay competitive. In this article, we focus on the green face of the AI‑Ready BA Cube, exploring how AI is transforming productivity for BAs by expanding the possibilities and use cases for leveraging technology to enhance their productivity.
A simple way to view business analysis is that BAs, in collaboration with other stakeholders, apply business knowledge to analyze gathered information and produce various artifacts and deliverables. While traditional tools—such as office productivity tools, communication tools, and specialized tools like modeling tools—are primarily used for collaboration, artifact and deliverable production, and limited analysis, the emergence of AI, and particularly Generative AI with its unique reasoning and content generation capabilities, has significantly expanded the possibilities for business analysts to leverage technology to enhance their productivity.
Examples of new technology assistance use cases | |
|---|---|
Collaboration | AI can take notes during meetings and generate a report with key follow-up items for participants. |
Business Knowledge | BAs can leverage AI for general business knowledge, industry insights, or methodology guidance. |
Information elicitation | AI can quickly analyze large documents and extract relevant data and information. |
Analysis of information | AI can process the transcript of an elicitation meeting and translate it into a list of requirements. |
Production of artifacts and deliverables | AI can generate an initial version of a Business Requirements Document. |
How AI Enhances Business Analysts' Productivity Across Diverse Areas
To thrive in an AI‑powered world, BAs must learn to leverage AI tools and features to enhance their productivity. This includes developing a general awareness of AI technology and available AI tools, learning to select the right AI tool, depending on the context and task, mastering prompt engineering to optimize AI outputs, and cultivating critical thinking to assess the accuracy of AI‑generated results. Above all, continuous learning is essential to staying current with evolving AI tools and technologies.
By embracing AI tools to boost their productivity, business analysts can automate a wider range of tasks and focus on higher‑level strategic activities.
