Great interview, really amazing one. I've learned a lot of things about the solution architect role. Elias is so passionate by his job, and has a great hability to transmit his experience and knowledge ! Wow , thanks a lot
This was great, I am actually interested in being a product manager, however I think this interview is useful to anyone in technology. Thank you Ilyas Bakouch for taking the time.
Tomorrow is my first day as a Sr. Solution Architect after several months as an Application Designer at a consultant. Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot
I've watched several SA job roles explainations, big thanks to your share and this one is pretty honest and with depth and width as well i'd like to say, allowing me to look back into the past journey and definitely looking forward to this kind of share in the near future !
This was extremely helpful. I have a background of Customer Service for 12 years and now I am planning to switch to Solution Architect. Any tips for me?
Business analyst is usually more around communicating to clients and stakeholders about IT plans and problems. Solutions architect's job is to implement it.
for someone non IT is it easy to be a business analyst or it requires technical background?? i think solutions architect is quite technical , looks liek one needs to know a lot for this.
A solution architect uses high level business requirements (functional) and non functional requirements (such as performance, latency, volume, availabilty, scalability, security,...) and come up with a solution that will fit . the BA works with the business on detailed business requirements (such as, screems in UI, transitions between web pages,.....). the SA needs to make sure what's being developed aligns with what has been proposed as a solution. Let's take an exmple of a business requirement that involves the interaction between many systems and the sourcing the data from different sources, the SA needs to work with many stakeholders (data architects, infrastructure team, network team, security team, compliance team,...) and come up with a solution that will fit the business functional requirements and non functional requirements. once the solution has been decided and approved, the implementation team can start working on it (BAs, scrum teams, devops,....... ), the SA will also work with them during the implementation phase to make sure everything is being built according to the proposed solution.
