If you were going to a 3 hour training course on business analysis what would you want to cover?
I think the answer would depend on the audience. Unless the 3 hour course is for a very specific topic, such as requirements elicitation, the training would be more of a workshop.
If I were a Jr. Business Analyst or just getting started:
If I were a Sr. Business Analyst:
Assuming an intro level course, I'd say some content on the following (taken from the BA certificate I'm currently getting):
- Introduction to Business Analysis - Understanding and Gathering Requirements - Analyzing the Information, Processes and Workflow - Communication Success Factors - Solutions, Design and Testing - Implementation: deployment, training and closure
Preferably with some real life case studies (a la Haarvard business school).
Thanks guys
My next qustion is can anyone share examples of requirement specifications for user access to system.
I want to show different approaches and get the audiences discussing strengths and weaknesses of different approaches and thought this might be a good generic topic hat most specs have to address.
Either post them here or send them via my profile if yuo want to keep them private. (All identifying features of the specs will be stripped away.)
>>> And also - here are some requirements specs I have found online. Reading other people's specs is one of the fastest ways to improve your documentation skills people. Take the time to read some yourself.
