Business Analysis Foundations
Working out what is actually needed. Finding the problem behind the request, eliciting requirements from people who describe solutions instead, writing them so they can be built and tested, and knowing when the answer is not software.
Written in house, from the work rather than from a syllabus. Every example is one we would use ourselves, and every quiz question explains why its answer is right.
What you’ll learn
- Find the problem behind a stated solution
- Choose an elicitation technique that fits the situation
- Separate functional requirements from the qualities that constrain them
- Write a user story with acceptance criteria that can actually be tested
- Prioritise honestly when everything is described as critical
- Recognise when a process change beats building anything
