Short description Learn business analysis from the start: frame the problem, work with the people involved, map processes, write requirements and make the case for change. 50 written lessons plus 10 practice downloads.
Outcomes
  • Explain what a business analyst does and how the role works beside project managers, product owners and change managers
  • Write a clear problem statement and find root causes with the five whys and a fishbone diagram
  • Identify the people with a stake, place them on a power and influence grid, agree a RACI chart and plan engagement
  • Plan elicitation and run interviews, workshops, observation, document analysis and short surveys
  • Draw flowcharts and swimlane maps in BPMN-style notation, find pain points and design a to-be process
  • Write clear requirements and user stories with acceptance criteria, and prioritise them with MoSCoW
  • Describe data with a simple data model, business rules and a data dictionary
  • Appraise options, set out costs and benefits with payback and a three-year view, and write a business case
  • Adapt your analysis to agile, planned and hybrid projects and work well with suppliers
  • Validate a solution with walkthroughs, acceptance checks and a traceability matrix, and check that the benefits arrive
Requirements
  • No experience of business analysis is needed, and no technical background
  • A computer, tablet or phone with an internet connection and a way to open PDF files; a spreadsheet app is optional but helps
  • Paper, sticky notes or a whiteboard for sketching maps and diagrams, or any drawing tool you already have
  • A real piece of work to practise on helps, but every exercise can be done with the made-up examples
