How does a Business Analyst differ from a Data Analyst?

< 1 min read

A Business Analyst focuses on understanding business problems and defining requirements.
A Data Analyst focuses on analyzing data and building models or reports.
In my role, I worked with stakeholders to define KPIs and success metrics.
The Data Analyst then used SQL and Python to create dashboards.
I translated business needs into clear data requirements.
I also ensured the insights aligned with business goals.
Both roles collaborate closely but have different responsibilities.
