SUMMARY:BA08-Agile for Business Analysts
DESCRIPTION:Course ID: AG-BA08\nCredits: 14 PMI-PDUs\, IIBA-CDUs (Professional Development Hours)\nCourse Duration: 2 days\nCourse Level: Basic/Intermediate \nView Course Outline \nPrerequisites:\nNo prerequisites – This course is suitable for novice and experienced practitioners who are responsible for business analysis activities on projects using iterative or adaptive (agile) delivery methods. It is recommended that participants complete the BA01 – Business Analysis Essentials course prior to enrolling or have equivalent experience. \nCourse Abstract:\nAs more organizations are moving to agile delivery\, it is becoming increasingly important for business analysis professionals to understand how to adapt their current skills to support different delivery frameworks. Even when organizations have not fully embraced agile\, research shows that many teams are embracing ‘some’ agile practices. Traditional waterfall business analysis skills are still important\, but so is professionally developing to understand how to adapt your processes and skills as delivery frameworks evolve. \nProject success is dependent on effective business analysis; therefore business analysis professionals must continue to evolve their skillsets to keep up with the needs and expectations of agile teams. Many traditional project teams run into trouble when they try to define all of the requirements up front. The reality is that stakeholders often cannot articulate their requirements and the best design is not known until some prototypes are built. Every project and program can benefit from adopting some agile practices.

SUMMARY:BA26 - Requirements Elicitation
DESCRIPTION:Course ID: BA26 \nCredits: 14 PDUs/CDUs\nCourse Duration: 2 days\nCourse Level: Intermediate \nView Course Outline \nPrerequisites: \nGeneral knowledge of the requirements process is recommended. The Business Analysis Essentials (BA01) course would provide this information. \nCourse Objectives: \nStrong elicitation skills are a ‘must have’ for anyone charged with defining requirements for their project. Success is dependent on a mixture of technical skills (i.e. knowing which technique to use and how to use it) and interpersonal skills (i.e. building relationships\, listening\, and gaining consensus). Whether you plan to meet with your stakeholders in one-on-one sessions\, in a requirements workshop\, or remotely\, you will need to know how to select and implement techniques to accurately and efficiently identify the needs of your business. \nIn this highly interactive 2-day course\, you will learn how to enhance and refine your elicitation skills. Industry best practices are explained and then augmented with professional tips and methods. Working in small groups\, you will practice new techniques and discuss strategies that your organization should be using to better define stakeholder needs. A case study driven workshop comprises more than half the course and provides a real-world example\, templates\, and job aids to reference once you are back on the job. If you are struggling with missing requirements\, lack of stakeholder involvement\, out of control scope\, or the inability to know which tools to apply to elicit the most thorough requirements\, you’ll want to consider this workshop! \n
