The constant message she’s hearing from leaders? If BAs don’t shift how they think and work, we’re heading for some struggles.
The BA role as we know it is dramatically changing. We can’t stay stagnant.
Angela breaks down the AI impact on BAs into three key areas:
🍩Productivity – Yes, AI makes us more productive. But here’s the thing: some of the work we’ve done in the past doesn’t need to be done anymore. 🤯
So we have to be careful. We can’t just optimize old processes faster. We need to question whether those processes should even exist.
🍩Teaming differently – Angela calls BAs “integrators” (I love this!). We sit in the middle, connecting development, business value, testing, change management, UX, architecture… all of it.
We don’t change in a box. Everyone around us is shifting how they work. So we need to constantly collaborate and team differently in response.
🍩Business transformation – Our clients and organizations are reimagining their business models and processes for an AI world.
And we get to help them transform those processes. That’s our opportunity.
The BA role isn’t dying – it’s evolving into something more strategic and interconnected.
But only if we’re willing to evolve with it.
With my wonderful co-lead with Vanessa Grant running our monthly #BadAssBA meetup ❤️
