IIBA Business Analysis One: Principles, Tools, and Skills of Business Analysis

A comprehensive overview of the profession of Business Analysis and the role of the Business Analyst. This seminar earns 32 CDU from the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).. Includes a copy of the IIBA Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) and instruction on how to navigate this international standard of business analysis, and how to apply it to real world situations. It is a unique and powerful business resource, and that is how we teach it.

Our students leave this seminar with a thorough understanding of the five categories of Requirements found in all projects. Students also gain an understanding of when to deploy the tools of the business analysis profession, as we track Business Analysis deliverables across a case study project life cycle in a series of team exercises. By the end of the seminar, there is an understanding and an appreciation of the key principles and tools employed by a business analyst.

This course is geared to a broad professional audience that would benefit from deeper business knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge to their professional goals. The course teaches a key business skill set and analytical toolkit.  Appropriate for business analysts, as well as executive, management, and technical personnel. Effective as an intro-duction or a high-impact refresher.  (32 IIBA Education Credits CDU )
