In my opinion, a Business Analyst is someone who has an overall understanding of the organizations various elements and can provide solutions based on the needs of the above mentioned elements. In order to excel as a Business Analyst, one must possess the following traits:

  • Have excellent business understanding
  • Be a critical thinker
  • Be a people person

Also, like you mentioned, skills such as programming and other technical know-how certainly make the job of a BA a lot easier.
