Hey everyone, iLyas is here, happy to answer any questions you might have! Thank you for watching 💪🏻

[@footballfan28-ss]

Hi Ilyas, I recently moved into a solutions architect role. I have a background as a tech lead. I am finding it hard to understand role a bit better because I have to understand the domain based on the analysis done by a system analyst and use the technology prescribed within the organization to create technical analysis. What do you consider technical analysis? What should I be delivering for the developers to commence

[@tech-n-data]

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.

Clarity in explaining Solution Architect is amazing! Engaging video!

Glad you think so!

[@alexbennett5647]

Love this. The distinction between Solutions and Software Architect is a really great one.

Networking is mainly in every position IT

[@ashishadhav88]

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?

[@tryexponent]

Great to hear! Do you already have a strong software engineering background?

[@rajgsrinivas]

When you say you take business requirements then how is the role different from Business Analyst

[@tryexponent]

Business analyst is usually more around communicating to clients and stakeholders about IT plans and problems. Solutions architect's job is to implement it.

[@ammaar8271]

@@tryexponent so is it more like Business administration?

[@anahash3221]

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.

[@cloudsurgery]

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.

[@fionagao690]

how can such level of communications skill become a SA? 😢

[@lhxperimental]

It's hard to understand how one can be an architect without ever having coded. Such an architect stands no chance in front of someone who comes from a software engineering background

[@karthiksivakumar5522]

Could have explained that difference between product management and solutions architect role more clearly. Was very hard to follow
