Essentials of Business AnalysisCertificate Program
Innovations in information technology have had a dramatically positive impact on American business over the last 15 years. Still, research consistently shows that a large percentage of software projects fail to deliver the intended business results. The “IT-Business” divide is a key factor in these failures.Indeed, more than 50 percent of organizations polled in a recent IT Governance Institute survey lacked any formal structure to align IT investments with business strategy. According to CIO Magazine, as many as 71 percent of software projects fail because of poor business requirements management, making it the single biggest reason for project failure. Enter the Business Analyst.The Business Analyst works as a liaison among stakeholders in order to elicit, analyze, communicate and validate requirements for changes
to business processes, policies and information systems. To succeed in this role, an individual must have a broad range of business, technical and interpersonal skills. The Essentials of Business Analysis Certificate Program delivers skills, techniques and tools to:• Understand and define the organizational need• Gather the information needed to clearly define the requirements• Document requirements for use by all stakeholders• Analyze, verify and validate requirements• Create a framework for successful requirements management and communicationThis program is intended to help those who contribute to, write and review detailed functional specifications and those who must develop and test systems based on those requirements.
Additional Program Benefit:Upon registration, each participant will receive a pre-Series multiple-choice test. This test will establish a baseline. After you complete the program, you will receive a post-Series multiple-choice test so you can self-assess your progress.
