Description

Business Analysis underpins any automated system development, and any meaningful business change. Business Analysis means uncovering the real business problem, and then crafting the best possible solution for it. Business Analysis means firstly bringing the stakeholders to a common - and correct - understanding of the value that any new solution will bring to the organization. Business Analysis means investigating the business problem, discovering the essence - the real problem - and then looking at the options for an appropriate solution. 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 that business. Business Analysis is a combination of work study, systemic thinking, innovating, communicating, persuading and several other analytical skills. This course gives you the process and the tools for effective and thorough Business Analysis.
