WHY STUDY THIS COURSE

This course is also part of our five-day Mastering Business Analysis – Remastered course which usually runs in parallel, so you can choose to undertake these three days or the full five days.

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.

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.

This course is consistent with definitions and principles from the IIBA’s Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK® Guide).

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Discover how to:

Apply concepts and techniques applicable to any tool or methodology
Diagnose business process problems and present possible solutions from findings
Comprehend the “big picture” and the consequence of decisions
Understand how business analysis thinking can help management
Collect, document, and organise information.
Identify and document issues through analysis and interviews

My instructor was great being able to put scenarios into real world instances that related to my specific situation.
I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived and the ability to sit as a group outside the classroom to discuss our situations and our goals was extremely valuable.
I learnt a lot and felt it was important that my goals by attending this course were met. Great job Lumify Work team.
