The business analyst (BA) uses numerous methods, tools, and techniques to structure information collected from stakeholders when eliciting requirements, assess gaps, and define and document the capabilities of the solution. Through iterations, the BA must ensure that the proposed requirements are feasible and support the business needs and objectives, and that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of and agreement to the requirements.
A BA working on a project frequently uses a variety of analysis and documentation techniques from three broad categories: business process analysis, object-oriented analysis, and structured systems analysis. Many of these models are addressed by the Object Development Group's UML specifications. This virtual course examines the role of the BA in the Requirements Analysis and Documentation Knowledge Area of the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK). Practical tasks and techniques are presented to equip the BA with the skills and knowledge required to analyze and document accurate and complete requirements from stakeholders using numerous techniques.
This course builds upon the associated tasks and techniques introduced in its prerequisite, BA111: Core Competencies for the Business Analyst by exploring the core functions of the business analyst in the context of Requirements Analysis and Documentation, a variety of techniques for performing analysis, and ways to overcome challenges when applying these techniques in real world business situations.
