A Bootcamp-Style Program that Examines the Essential Skills and Techniques Needed by the Modern Business Analyst

This five-day course is designed around the seven knowledge areas identified by the IIBA as Business Analysis Planning & Monitoring, Elicitation, Requirements Management & Communication, Enterprise Analysis, Requirements Analysis, Solution Assessment & Validation and Underlying Competencies. This course will prepare you to immediately start implementing the principles and techniques of Business Analysis in your business and work environment.
