Not sure where you are on your BA career journey?
Not sure what you need to build next — or what getting to the next level actually looks like?
This is for you.
The BA Career Growth Map is a clean, visual, one page roadmap that shows you the complete Business Analysis career journey from start to finish — so you always know exactly where you are, what you need, and what gets you to the next stage.
The five stages:
🧭 Stage 01 — Aspiring BA
Zero experience. Your first BA role is the goal. Here is what to build, what to do, and what milestone gets you there.
🧱 Stage 02 — BA
First role secured. Now the work of building real credibility begins. Here is what good looks like at this level and what moves you forward.
🎯 Stage 03 — Senior BA
You know the job. Now you become the trusted adviser. Here is what separates the Senior BA from the BA who stays stuck.
👥 Stage 04 — Lead BA / BA Manager
Leading others. Influencing at programme level. Here is what this stage actually requires — and what most people underestimate.
⭐ Stage 05 — Head of BA / Director / Consultant
The top of the ladder inside an organisation — or the pivot to independent consulting. Here is what it takes and what it looks like.
