Overview
This course is a combination of our two popular courses Fast Start in Business Analysis and Identifying and Managing Successful Requirements, which are also available separately.
This five-day Business Analysis course provides an overview of the Business Analysis process and will empower participants with a wide range of fundamental BA skills, tools and techniques. 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.
Days 1 to 3 – Fast Start in Business Analysis
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.
Days 4 and 5 – Identifying and Managing Successful Requirements
By mastering the requirements process, business analysts and project managers can better manage customers' expectations and satisfy their needs. Requirements discovery is the first step to a successful project.
This course focuses on the skills necessary to thoroughly gather requirements from stakeholders, procedures, system components, and various business documents. Quality requirements statements are the next step in a successful project. This course provides the best practices to write specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and traceable (SMART) requirements statements.
This course is consistent with definitions and principles from the IIBA's Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide).
Audience
Business analysts, business systems analysts, managers, information technology (IT) professionals, or other business professionals who need to learn practical systems thinking and need an approach for defining business/technical requirements when implementing new processes or methodologies.

Outline
If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
