Business analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs in order to develop solutions that meet those needs. It is a crucial element in the change management process within an organization and in designing new business solutions.

It plays a vital role in ensuring the effectiveness of projects and changes within an organization by ensuring that the implemented solutions are accurate, feasible, and fully aligned with business requirements.

This course emphasizes the business analyst role required to thrive on Agile projects. Participants will learn how to collaborate effectively with the Team, Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Customer to streamline the development process. Through a simulated project, attendees will practice handling common scenarios.
