Best Practices in Business Analysis

Getting the right requirements and getting those requirements right are the most critical part of any project. This course explores the techniques and methods which expert business analysts use to produce high quality requirements and specifications that form the foundation of a successful development project. The challenge of getting high quality requirements is so daunting that project teams often move to writing code, which is relatively easy, before they know what the code should do, which is quite hard. Expert BAs have developed a set of processes, tools and methods that ensure they can manage the requirements process to produce effective requirements artifacts in a highly efficient manner. This course introduces students to these methods and techniques as they are actually used by world class BAs.
