Successful projects begin with clearly defined requirements that trace to specific business needs. Most companies rely heavily on the IT Business Analyst to make this happen. The Business Analyst serves as the liaison between non-IT employees who have a business problem to solve and the IT team who provides the technical solution. The Business Analyst must be tech-savvy, must be able to build consensus, and must be a great communicator as these two sides of the company often speak very different languages.

In this era of bare-bones IT budgets and extreme cost-cutting pressure, the Business Analyst role is growing in importance. This introductory course provides knowledge and the essential skills needed to be an effective Business Analyst. The full life cycle of Requirements planning, gathering, modeling, analysis, specification, documentation, and verification are covered. Both object oriented and structured techniques for modeling are introduced. Learn the practical skills required to grow in the Business Analyst role. Gain skills in communication, consensus building, and management of scope creep though many engaging exercises, discussions, and tips/techniques.
