Business Analyst

Today, the role of a business analyst is vital in powering any successful digital business. Bringing broad and enduring value, business analysts translate business needs into the right buildable solutions and processes. 

Our Business Analyst course will provide you an immersive experience in responding to an in-depth scenario that follows each stage of the business analysis lifecycle. You’ll learn the key transferable skills required by a valuable business analyst which are causation, facilitation, problem solving, work breakdown, and adaptive communication.

Our Business Analyst course is ideal for:

• Early and mid-career IT and business professionals looking to gain proficiency and close knowledge gaps in order to transition towards becoming a business analyst.
• Mid-level professionals from business analyst adjacent roles looking to develop the skills to effectively work with multidisciplinary teams. You’ll most likely be, but are not limited to, a quality assurance tester, product manager, digital marketer, solutions architect, UX designer, or consultant.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: 

• Break down business problems into requirements that facilitate the resolution of conflicting needs and reflect contemporary ways of working
• Critically analyse cognitive and behavioural professional skills relevant to business analysis and apply those skills to engage with business and technical stakeholders
• Illustrate the business analysis process to stakeholders and justify how the process and findings create business value

You’ll gain universal technical skills in requirements gathering, process mapping, and user story writing. Simulating common real-life situations that require problem-solving, you’ll also learn how to update process maps based on changed requirements and review non-functional requirements. By the end of this course, you’ll present your findings through a stakeholder presentation and video for your final, scenario-based project.
