Business Analysis Training Course

Business Analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs to develop solutions that meet those needs. It is a key element in the process of managing organizational changes and designing new business solutions. Business analysis ensures that technological, process-related, or organizational solutions meet business goals and needs. It is crucial for the effectiveness of projects and organizational changes by ensuring that the introduced solutions are appropriate, feasible, and fully aligned with business requirements.

Summary:

A business/systems analyst addresses business challenges by designing information systems that align with the strategic goals set by the organization. These IT solutions typically aim to achieve one of the following objectives for the business: implementing a new business process, enhancing the efficiency and productivity of existing processes, or reducing the operating costs of current processes.

This course is designed for Business Analysts, including those who may be interested in preparing for an IIBA Certification (CCBA or CBAP), and it aligns with the framework outlined in the BABOK® Version 3.0.

Objectives:

• Identify the essential principles, activities, tasks, and techniques described in the BABOK® V3.0
• Understand the core knowledge areas, activities, tasks, deliverables, and their interrelationships:

Key Definitions:

BABOK® (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) is a standard for the practice of business analysis, serving as a framework that outlines the necessary tasks to be performed.

CCBA® (Certified of Competency in Business Analysis) is a certification offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). It requires passing a test based on the BABOK® after the application has been approved, which is based on education and experience.

CBAP® (Certified Business Analysis Professional) is another certification offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). It also requires passing a test based on the BABOK® after the application has been approved, which is based on education and experience.

This course will guide you through:

• Executing essential business analyst tasks by utilizing a robust business analysis framework
• Carrying out a thorough business needs analysis to gather stakeholder requirements
• Employing business analysis methods to pinpoint critical issues and potential opportunities within your organization
• Developing effective requirements and communication strategies
• Analysing and specifying requirements in line with industry best practices
• Overseeing solution assessment and validation processes

Course Audience:

This course is designed for managers who wish to understand BPMN diagrams, business consultants, business analysts, business process engineers, system analysts, and anyone involved in the analysis and planning of business processes using standardized, unified modeling notation.

Course Goals:

• Create high-quality process diagrams
• Model processes using BPMN notation
• Capture current process information
• Optimize process flows for people-intensive tasks
• Simplify complex process definitions and break them down into more manageable components

This course has been designed for business analysts who wish to utilize BPMN 2.0 extensively in their projects.

It emphasizes the practical application of all BPMN 2.0 specifications, as well as the implementation of common patterns.

The course consists of a series of concise lectures followed by exercises. Participants will be presented with problems described in English and will need to create appropriate diagrams for each problem. These diagrams will then be discussed and evaluated by both the group and the trainer.

This course does not delve into the execution aspects of BPMN; instead, it focuses on the analysis and process design components of BPMN 2.0.

The course is designed to impart practical knowledge and enhance BPMN modeling skills at both Intermediate and Advanced levels.

The ideal participant for this course includes business analysts who are responsible for discovering, identifying, gathering, and analyzing user requirements for systems. It also caters to advanced computer application developers and system architects interested in the creation of business processes, systems, and custom drivers.

This course does not cover Executable BPMN level issues.

The training primarily uses a hands-on approach, with approximately 90% of the time spent on computer-based activities. During these sessions, participants will translate real-world business scenarios into Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) and evaluate existing diagrams to assess their practical utility.

This is an intensive, highly practical course that focuses strictly on application rather than theoretical aspects of BPMN.

The course will cover how to:

• Select, organize, and implement a business re-engineering project
• Achieve a competitive edge by leveraging technology and UML tools
• Enhance customer satisfaction by aligning process design with customer needs
• Identify common signs of business process inefficiency
• Effectively redesign workflow and structure within the organization
• Ensure best practices through the application of business patterns

There are numerous proven patterns that are readily accessible to everyone. Often, it involves adapting names and implementing these patterns within specific technologies. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be spent on design and testing. Training Objectives: This course aims to achieve two objectives: first, to enable the reuse of well-known patterns; second, to facilitate the creation and reuse of organization-specific patterns. It assists in estimating how patterns can cut costs, standardize the design process, and develop a code framework based on your patterns. Target Audience: The course is designed for software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Style: The course emphasizes use cases and their connection to specific patterns. Most examples are illustrated using UML and simple Java examples (the programming language can be adjusted if the course is booked as an in-house session). It also guides you through pattern sources and demonstrates how to catalog and document patterns for reuse within your organization.
