Description

Business Analysis is the bedrock of almost every kind of Business change and automated system development. Business Analysis means investigating the work of the Business to find both the problems to be corrected as well as better solutions for the Business processes. Business Analysis is a combination of modelling, systemic thinking, innovating, communicating, persuasion and several other analytical skills. In short, the task of the Business Analyst is to uncover the real Business, and communicate it in such a way that all stakeholders come to a consensus on the best way to improve the Business.
The analyst is charged with guiding the Business-oriented aspects of the project ensuring that the right problem is being solved, and finding innovative and optimally beneficial solutions. This course teaches you how to do that.
