Business Analyst Training - Intended Audience
Our Fundamentals of Business Analysis course is suited to Business Analysts
recently placed in the role or to BA’s who have been performing the role for
some time but have never received any formal training.
The course is also suitable as an introduction for anyone thinking about moving
into the Business Analysis role or for other change management professionals
wanting to gain a more in-depth understanding of the role and responsibilities
of the BA.
The ‘Fundamentals’ course is aimed at learning real-world business analysis
skills that can be used in the workplace. Course delegates should be able to
return to their working environments and work as effective BA team members
immediately adding value and building effective relationships with business and
IT stakeholders.
We want course delegates to be focussed on learning how to do business analysis
but as the course material covers one of the ISEB diploma modules, delegates
have the option of sitting the Requirements Engineering exam at the end of the
course. Alternatively they can choose to sit the exam at a later date when they
are comfortable with the learning. The price of the exam is included within the
course fee regardless of when or whether you take the exam.
The course is also suitable for experienced business analysts as it:
-
Provides a reinforcement session for those BA’s who have been doing the job for many years but have never received formal training
-
Provides a ‘standard’ approach to be adopted by teams who might currently be using a mix of different techniques and deliverables
-
Can be used as a tool for uncovering and addressing issues faced by existing BA’s or BA teams
-
Covers the ISEB Requirements Engineering syllabus in full so is the start point for the ISEB International Diploma in Business Analysis
-
Covers other parts of the remaining 3 ISEB modules giving a broad introduction to the qualification but maintaining an emphasis on real-world practice
The course is also suited to individuals embarking on a career in change
management, IT or project management, as it provides a useful insight into the
project lifecycle and the need for robust requirements and a rigorous and
methodical approach.
Business Analysis Course Objectives
By the end of the course the Business Analyst will be able to:
- Integrate into a project or team environment with an understanding of their role, key responsibilities and relationship with fellow project members
- Work with business users to gather and document different types and levels of requirement
- Work with business users to define, scope and initiate a project
- Break-down complex business scenarios or problems into process and data models
- Validate requirements by producing Use Cases and assess requirements against defined quality criteria
- Apply end-to-end thinking to complex business and system problems to ensure ‘right first time’ documentation and solutions
- Work with business users and delivery teams to develop optimum solutions to defined requirements
- Confidently present findings to business users and their project team
Attendees of this course may go on to attend our Advanced Business Analysis course in order to achieve the certificates required for the ISEB International Diploma in Business Analysis.
Our Fundamentals course is also formally accredited
by the IIBA and counts as 37 units towards the CBAP qualification. For more
