Bottom Line Business Analysis Series

We’ve developed a new business analysis curriculum for BAs looking for a structured progression to take them from a NOVICE level training to more ADVANCED senior level classes. This is the only 4- level integrated curriculum taking people from Beginner to Expert business analyst. The series is called our Bottom Line Business Analysis training series. Take the classes you need based on your experience… 

Delays, cancellations and defects in systems development projects stem in large part from our inability to understand project requirements and the environment in which they exist. The data is unequivocal: Most problems in software systems are related directly to poor requirements and misunderstanding the business needs. 

The Bottom-line Business Analysis program helps to equip business analysts with the knowledge, tools and analytical skills to attack one of the root causes of project failure: incomplete, poorly defined and changing requirements. 

This program is made up of four classes, covering the Novice; Intermediate; and Advanced levels for business analysis: 

1. Business Analysis Foundations is an overview of business analysis processes to define business needs and write basic requirements and be effective business analysts. 

2. High Quality Business Requirements where participants learn to elicit and write crisp, verifiable business requirements that allow the development team to build the solution 

3. Use Case and Business Modeling Techniques that teaches industry accepted techniques to accurately identify and clearly document the business needs and requirements through business models and use cases 

Designing and Facilitating Requirements’ Workshops – 

CMAPS how to plan and facilitate collaborative requirements workshops where business and systems people quickly reach complete agreement on requirements and solutions. 

Learning Model 

Each course has been broken up into class room discussions and Practical Application Sessions (PAS) where participants apply the information learned in class on an actual project. The class room is divided into small project teams that gives everyone the opportunity to actively participate in all PAS’s. This learning model makes it easy for participants to take their newly acquired skills back to their jobs for immediate benefits.
