Essential Business Analysis Skills
It is imperative for systems to meet their stated requirements to be useful. For the analyst, this poses
the significant challenge of discovering, analyzing, documenting, and eventually validating these
requirements. In this course, participants will learn the salient methods of requirements discovery,
analysis, and documentation using a variety of proven and practical methods, including elicitation
techniques, use cases, user stories, data modeling, process modeling, business rule modeling,
traceability, and change control. The techniques are elaborated in the context of traditional, iterative
and agile system development lifecycles, particularly where stakeholders might be distributed.
