Business analysis efforts create tremendous value for organizations of all kinds and sizes, but doing so requires an understanding of what makes each situation unique and how to best adapt business analysis techniques to that challenge. In this course, we're going to focus on how to tailor your business analysis efforts to better fit a variety of perspectives and different environments, including agile projects, business intelligence, information technology, business architecture, and business process management. By the end of this course, you'll be better equipped to apply your business analysis skills to a variety of unique situations with a clear understanding of how to adapt your skills and train your focus on the objectives most important from each of these perspectives. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with some of the principles of business analysis and the techniques that BAs commonly employ in their work. This course is part of our ECBA, CCBA, and CBAP prep series, helping you prepare for the certifications offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis. It can also help you earn continuing education credits for these and other certifications, and is still a great resource for you if you're just looking to improve as a business analyst.
