The conversation between human and AI assistant.
For the profile of business analyst, which matters more: either technical soundness towards tool i.e. SQL, R, SAS, Excel etc., or experience and knowledge about business?
I see your point. But what about tasks that require specialized technical knowledge such as predictive modeling or machine learning?
In cases where specialized technical knowledge is required, it's ideal if the business analyst has at least some familiarity with those tools. However, in most cases, a data scientist or a data engineer would be responsible for those tasks. The business analyst's job would be to turn insights from these models into actionable recommendations for the business.
