Course Overview
Fundamentally business analysis creates value for the organization. To achieve this, the organization must be clear on the business' needs. This course provides you with frameworks and approaches to define the necessary business change and assess both the value and risk associated. This course also covers the development of a work plan that identifies the approach, deliverables, activities, and schedule required to accomplish this change. You will learn these topics through lectures, exercises and discussions, case studies and/or scenario-based problem solving, both individually and working in teams.
