But what are the skills required to work as a Business Analyst and the responsibilities of that role in an organization? This paper contributes to the debate on this issue, identifying and analyzing skills required, the key responsibilities of this role, through a survey carried out with Business Analysts, in the national context. From the perception of these professionals we obtained a set of the main competencies and responsibilities to act as Business Analyst and a mapping of the presence level of these skills and responsibilities in the current scenario.
