BUSINESS ANALYSIS TRAINING USING REAL-WORLD PROJECT LEARNING. ADAPTABLE, BEST PRACTICES FOR EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS.
Management and other leaders need fast, accurate, and efficient project requirements, testing, and implementations. No one has time for thick analysis methodologies that bog down both your people and those your staff serves. Applying best practices from traditional, agile, and real-world business analysis parts of projects using readily available productivity tools will increase your results and customer satisfaction. Your people need techniques to reduce their repetitive conversations and other efforts that do little to move their requirements forward.
This course concentrates on real world, in-use best practices. For those interested it will also prepare you for the Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP)® or Certification of Competency in Business Analysis™ (CCBA®) Certification exam. It will expose you to multiple BA methodologies, strategies, and best practices.
The Business Analysis BootCamp empowers and educates through multiple learning channels including exercises, best practices discussion, tailoring processes, lecture, graphics, and presentations. You come away with the savvy, capability, and tools to manage BA work in real projects in real organizations.
Each real-world, tailored in-class exercise is designed to expose experienced professionals in any field to the BA part of the project life cycle.
