Description

At a high level, it is understood that a BA is a person between the business and developers who translates business needs into requirements, but what does this mean exactly? Are you just taking notes and passing them along? This lack of clarity can hurt you when preparing your resume, sitting for an interview, and when starting the job.Imagine if you could have the confidence to hit the ground running on any project and start asking the right questions and producing effective deliverables right away. Whether it is agile, waterfall, or while you sitting for your interview, you will be able to clearly articulate the value you can deliver as a BA  and the skills that you have to achieve that value.I have been a business analyst for over 12 years. I spent my early career trying to achieve exactly that, the knowledge of what value I should be bringing to the table and the confidence to know that I can bring it. After years of honing my skill, leading projects, and mentoring junior business analysts I became a manager of business analysts using my knowledge and experience to grow future kick-ass BAs. Now I’m making that available to you.In this course …I guide you through realistic scenarios to give you a clear understanding of what business analysis isI provide a mental framework for how to conduct business analysis work regardless of the project type or delivery methodologyI provide assignments that simulate BA work to test your abilities against a set of industry-standard BA competenciesIf you want the knowledge to write a resume that gets interviews, the confidence to kick butt in those interviews, and the ability to be a strong business analyst in any industry, with any methodology, at any organization, then enroll today.
