Fast Start in Business Analysis
Course Description
Overview
This course is also part of our 5-day Mastering Business Analysis - Remastered course which usually runs in parallel, so you can choose to undertake these 3 days or the full 5 days.
From strategy analysis and scope definition to requirements determination and conceptual design, the Fast Start in Business Analysis course gives analysts a thorough understanding of the entire Systems Development Life Cycle.
Replete with both “hard†and “soft†skills, this three-day course builds a sound strategy for analysing business processes and demonstrates how to apply concepts and practical techniques within the context of an experiential learning environment.
Students emerge from this course with a solid foundation of business analysis thinking as well as a greater understanding that doing the right things is just as important as doing things right.
This course is consistent with definitions and principles from the IIBAs Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK® Guide).
