Hi Jithoo,

Technical writer is a very common career path for a BA and it's likely you have many relevant experiences. Depending on how much requirements analysis work you've done, you might already "be a BA" and it's more a matter of repositioning your role, either in your current organization or in a job search process.

The clearest transition path for new BAs is to start building relevant career experiences. In your existing role, do you have the opportunity to do any BA work? Can you build on that? Can you run a meeting, scope a project, or be the communication bridge?

There is no one answer to your question, but you might check out a couple of posts I wrote on the topic:

Hi

I never got around to sitting the exam but I found studying the ISEB book Business Analysis gave me some context.  That was a few years ago and unfortunately I don't think there's a new edition out so I'd make sure you supplement it with plenty of reading on ma.com
