面试问题

1.

How do you define market opportunity in a business plan?

查看答案

经验丰富的业务分析师能够用不同的方式描述市场机会, including the total dollar value available in the market. 这通常被称为 总目标市场(TAM).

复合年增长率(CAGR)代表了市场增长的速度, and would often also be referenced when talking about market size. 业务分析师还应该能够描述整个价值中可供他们使用的部分, which represents their potential market share. 这个价值可以表示为市场的百分比,也可以表示为美元价值.

2.

在与产品特性的优先级相关的业务分析的上下文中, how would you describe a “low-hanging fruit”?

查看答案

In the context of product management business analysis, low-hanging fruit often refers to a quick win.

This might refer to a target market that is in dire need of a solution, or maybe a feature/functionality added on that to drive exponential revenues. 例如, 这可能是在旧数据库系统中添加新的集成,允许业务用户在分析平台中查看他们的数据.

探索业务分析师如何适应市场变化,这些变化会突然为结果带来巨大变化的机会. 询问他们是否曾经根据他们提供给产品经理的分析主张改变方向或优先级.

3.

What are the important elements of competitive analysis?

查看答案

经验丰富的业务分析师应该将竞争性分析问题分成四个步骤.

  • Defining your competitors and their key strengths and weaknesses
  • Defining your competitive advantage and your weaknesses
  • Carrying out a feature-by-feature comparison between you and competitors

What was your most successful project as a business analyst?

查看答案

对于这个问题, 您正在寻找可以识别一个强大的业务分析师的定性和定量措施.

  • What changes did they have an impact on?
  • 在什么时期??
  • What was the value that they achieved?

专业的业务分析师将能够根据业务结果简化他们的成就.

例如, 即使是高度复杂的过程, they should be able to convert the results into business value. 下面是一些例子:

“Our team implemented a new order processing system, reducing the time to revenue by 60% and allowing us to reduce sales costs by 20%.”

“我对新目标市场的分析发现了一个商机,它在接下来的一年为公司创造了30%的收入.”

5.

How do you monitor performance and success?

查看答案

A professional business analyst will have a strong set of 关键绩效指标(kpi) that they will monitor in order to understand the position, 增长, progress, 以及产品或项目的成功. Listen for a solid selection of the KPIs.

寻找一个行动计划,它将包括一个常识性的根本原因分析和一些创造性的思维来解决一个意想不到的KPI表现.

6.

什么是WBS?

查看答案

工作分解结构(WBS)是一份文件,显示了将项目分解为更小的组件和项目团队要执行的总工作范围. 它将大任务分解成小任务,并以层次形式显示它们. A WBS is normally created at the start of a project before other, more detailed project plans and task planning are created.

7.

What is the role of a business analyst according to Scrum?

查看答案

这是个刁钻的问题. Scrum没有定义业务分析师的角色,但有时他们也是Scrum团队的一部分. 在某些情况下, 业务分析师实际上是产品所有者,在团队中代表客户的观点. 在其他情况下, 业务分析师与团队更紧密地合作,为跨职能团队提供领域专业知识. This can result in the business analyst researching, 详细说明, and creating wireframes for user stories provided by the product owner. 最后, 业务分析师可以通过研究潜在的用户故事或史诗来支持优先级流程,从而为产品所有者提供支持.

8.

你如何引导利益相关者从他们最初的想法转向更适合他们挑战的东西?

查看答案

首先,业务分析师不应该假设涉众的建议本质上是错误的. Rather they are assumptions that need to be validated or disqualified. 一个好的业务分析师会更深入地研究涉众所面临的潜在挑战. 这可以通过进一步采访这个挑战的解决方案将影响的涉众或最终用户来完成. 此外, 在可能的情况下,应采用数据分析来衡量问题的范围和建议的解决方案的潜在影响. 如果需要另一种行动方案来解决这一挑战,定性和定量分析将提供证据和支持. 最重要的是, 业务分析师不应该把涉众的建议说成是错误的或不合适的. 他们应该简单地提供他们建议的行动方案,作为一个更理想的选择,有更好的潜在结果.

9.

举例说明你如何使用数据分析来支持你的决策过程.

查看答案

一名优秀的业务分析师应该能够清楚地表明,仅仅基于猜测和假设做出决策并不是一种好的做法. Data analysis should be used when possible, 研究问题的潜在原因或估计建议的解决方案的潜在影响. 你也可以要求应聘者提供无法获得数据的情况的例子,以及这种情况如何影响决策过程. 在信息不完善的世界中,平衡地使用数据和更多定性信息来源是必要的.

10.

How do you gather and analyze data to produce business insights?

查看答案

有效地识别业务洞察力可以帮助团队更有效地理解他们可能面临的挑战,并提出更好的解决方案来克服这些挑战. 业务分析师将使用各种工具和技术来获得这些业务见解:

  • Conducting interviews with clients, stakeholders, and end users;
  • Conducting surveys about product usage or market needs;
  • 咨询行业专家;
  • Performing qualitative analysis with existing data;
  • Creating A/B tests, MVPs, prototypes, pilots, and trial projects;
  • Reading up on the latest industry news and trends;
  • 分析竞争对手的解决方案.
11.

你对各种商业智能和产品管理工具有什么经验?

查看答案

An experienced BA would mention at least one of the following 项目管理工具 such as Trello, Jira, Asana, Wrike, or MS Project.

They may also mention Excel and how they used it for data analysis. Tools such as Tableau, Qlik Sense, Microsoft Power BI, etc., are often used for data visualization and presentation.

There is more to interviewing than tricky technical questions, so these are intended merely as a guide. Not every “A” candidate worth hiring will be able to answer them all, nor does answering them all guarantee an “A” candidate. 一天结束的时候, hiring remains an art, a science — and a lot of work.
