Formerly DPS 16292 Introduction to Business Analysis
While the cost of fixing errors within the planning phase of a project is hard to measure, the harm project failure brings to business' reputation is not. The business analyst is an integral part of a successful project. This individual often determines what initiatives should be undertaken in a project, defines project requirements and specifications, and identifies all the touch points between the project and the business. This course introduces key concepts, systems, tools, and methodologies to help project managers identify, analyze and document business requirements and make recommendations to management. The course also focuses on the six key knowledge areas as defined in the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge.
