essential Skills for Business AnalysisOverviewTo identify the best solutions for real business needs, this course provides an extensive inventory of tools and techniques for use in business analysis work. The business analysis skill set includes critical thinking skills, elicitation techniques and requirements analysis and management. equally important are communication and relationship building skills, whether they be in person or virtual environments. expertise with analysis tools and techniques becomes even more necessary in today’s fast-paced environment. It is further complicated by the use of dispersed or outsourced teams, complex business processes, time-driven business initiatives, new agile software development approaches, and poorly integrated legacy applications.
Regardless of the person’s title, the need for strong business analysis skills is necessary for companies to remain competitive in any economy. Through education and practice business or technical professionals will develop and enhance their analytical skills and provide significant value to projects and the business enterprise.
This course teaches business analysis essentials to both new and experienced practitioners. It supports and expands on the standards outlined in the IIBA BABOK® Guide V2.0. Mentor-led workshops allow students to practice the techniques as they learn them. Depending on the participant’s skill level, the workshop cases and discussions inspire learning insights for every level of experience. Students are requested to bring their own projects to class to use in developing a personal post-class action plan for taking their project to the next step.
In this course students will learn to: n Analyze and scope the area of analysis, working with
project managers and business sponsors to clarify the level and complexity of the business analysis effort needed for the project.
n Select the appropriate elicitation technique to efficiently identify critical requirements.
n Analyze and refine business and functional requirements.
n Ask the right questions through the use of interviewing templates developed specifically for business analysis elicitation.

Business Process AnalysisOverviewDid you know the six costliest words in business are “we’ve always done it that way”? In this class you will learn techniques to help your business look at how things are being done and create solution options to improve the business processes. creating AS IS and TO Be workflows gives the business analyst a strategic view of business architecture which is essential in Agile, SOA, BPM, and any type of process improvement or cOTS project. Workflows are also the foundation for documenting Six Sigma, lean, and Value Stream process maps.
Business process analysis is a fundamental activity in defining changes to existing business systems, business process improvement activities, or performing gap analysis for cOTS. It provides the analyst an understanding of the core business processes they can use to suggest alternative solutions which meet core business needs and fit with existing IT infrastructure. Management can then evaluate each alternative for its potential return on investment and the cost of implementation. every business is searching for better ways of getting work done. Improving efficiency, decreasing costs, increasing productivity and customer service are goals that are universal.
evaluating the business process may result in software changes, procedural changes, organizational changes, personnel changes, etc. The best way to improve business operations is to: 1) study the current procedures, 2) find the core or essential work being done, and 3) define how this essential work will be accomplished. This course teaches a proven approach which gives the business analyst the confidence and credibility to offer and promote the right solution to solve the business problem or opportunity.
In this course students will learn to: n Identify and document complex business process steps
in an easy-to-review diagram using industry standard notation, BPMN.
n Schedule and conduct discovery/elicitation sessions to learn about current business processes (AS IS).
n Identify areas for process improvement by reviewing AS IS models.
n Develop process re-design strategies and present them for approval (TO Be).
n Ask detailed questions to get a complete understanding of business procedures, business rules, information use, and events that impact the business processes.
n Initiate a process modeling effort with clear objectives and an agreed upon goal.
n Define key terms used by the business domain to improve communications within the business.
n Decompose complex processes into lower level tasks and sub-processes.
n Identify the most important business component: essential Processes.
n conduct a review of a process model to assure accuracy.
Please Note: If students prefer and have experience using MS Visio to draw diagrams, they may bring their laptops with MS Visio to use during some of the workshops. This is not a requirement.
Intended audience:This course will be beneficial to any person, in any size organization, hoping to improve their business processes. The techniques presented can be used without any sophisticated software to quickly identify areas for improvement and fix broken processes.
Prerequisites: We recommend that students first attend our Essential Skills for Business Analysis class or have experience in project scope definition, eliciting requirements from subject matter experts, and understanding how business requirements fit into the entire systems development effort.

detailing Business data requirements OverviewUnderstanding and documenting business data requirements is a critical component in defining complete requirements. eliciting information needs often uncovers additional processes and business rules. every business process uses data and almost all business rules are enforced by data. Missing a critical piece of data or incorrectly defining a data element contributes to the majority of maintenance problems and results in systems that do not reflect the business needs. This course teaches students an in-depth approach to data modeling: identifying and defining all necessary data components using both textual templates and an entity relationship diagram. This course teaches business analysis techniques for eliciting, analyzing, and documenting data requirements to both new and experienced practitioners. Students will be given data templates with a suggested documentation structure for defining Business Data Requirements. It supports and expands on the techniques in the IIBA BABOK® Guide V2.0. Mentor-led workshops require students to practice the techniques as they learn. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects to class.
“... the data sees the big picture, while the various people and machines and organizations that work on the data see only a portion of what happens. As you go about doing a Structured Analysis, you will find yourself more and more frequently attaching yourself to the data and following it through the operation. I think of this as “interviewing the data.”’ It is usually more productive than any other single interview.”
Tom DeMarco
The course provides business analysts the knowledge to:
n Identify core data requirements beginning with project initiation.
n Identify excellent data requirements at the appropriate level of detail.
n Detail the data requirements (using a data dictionary and data model).
n Detail complex data related business rules.
n Assist with the transition of business data to database design.
n Utilize easy normalization techniques (without all the mathematical theory).
n Validate data requirements with activity (process or use case) requirements.
even if your organization has a data administrator or data warehouse team who is responsible for documenting and managing the organization’s information needs, every project uses a subset of that enterprise information in its own unique way. Business analysts must understand the importance of data in all of their projects and include data requirements in their business requirements documentation. failing to document which data elements need to be used in a calculation, or displayed on a report, leaves the developer the responsibility of choosing the correct pieces of business data from hundreds if not thousands of available fields. These missing requirements often lead to expensive and lengthy project delays during the testing phase.
Intended audience:This course is designed for business analysts, systems analysts, data administrators, database administrators, or any other project team member involved with business analysis. This course may also be appropriate for individuals who manage business analysts or those who work with the business requirements document and need a more in-depth understanding of the process and documentation.
Prerequisites: We recommend that students first attend our Essential Skills for Business Analysis class or have experience in project scope definition, gathering requirements from subject matter experts, and understand how business requirements fit into the entire systems development effort.

use Case modeling and Solution requirements OverviewUse case modeling is a commonly used analysis technique which results in functional requirements and a framework for test case development. When the solution to a business problem or opportunity involves a software component, the solution team must determine how software will best support the business. This class focuses on the business analysis work which includes defining functional, non-functional, and transition requirements which describe the solution and roll out needs.
This course supports and expands on the techniques in the IIBA BABOK® Guide V2.0. Specifically techniques for communicating the business requirements to the solution team, tracing each business requirement to the supporting solution component, assessing the solution applicability and planning for a smooth transition to the solution.
Mentor-led workshops require students to practice the techniques as they learn. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects to class.
In this course students will learn to:
n Use business requirements to identify, evaluate and present alternative design solutions which meet customer needs.
n Prioritize requirements for inclusion in the software development phase using plan-driven (traditional) and change-driven (iterative and agile) techniques.
n elicit, analyze, and communicate functional requirements that specify how users will interact with the software and how the software will respond.
n Deliver consistent, detailed use case descriptions.
n Incorporate usability principals when developing prototypes.
n Identify non-functional requirements appropriate for each project.
n learn to assess organizational readiness and build a transition or rollout plan to smooth the implementation of new software for the business.
Intended audience:This course is designed for business analysts, systems analysts, or any other project team members responsible for developing functional, non-functional, and transition requirements. Students are encouraged to bring examples of their requirements documents to the class for review and feedback. This course may also be appropriate for individuals who manage business analysts. Developers and solution implementers will benefit from an understanding of how functional and non-functional requirements are elicited and analyzed.
Prerequisites: We recommend that students first attend our Essential Skills for Business Analysis class or have experience in project scope definition, eliciting requirements from stakeholders, and understanding how business requirements fit into the entire systems development effort. We also recommend that students attend Business Process Analysis before attending this class.

developing a Business Analysis Work PlanOverviewHaving trouble getting started with your business analysis work? Unsure about how much time to request from your project manager?
Developing a business analysis work plan will prevent major problems by ensuring that all of the appropriate stakeholders are involved and the requirements will be analyzed and presented using the most effective communication approaches. This class teaches students to consider all of the project and stakeholder characteristics before deciding on appropriate deliverables and producing a time estimate. The work plan also helps the business analyst develop realistic time estimates based on the chosen deliverables. These estimates provide detailed justification for negotiation with project managers and project sponsors. During class students are presented the Business Analysis Planning framework™ and are given worksheets to guide their planning efforts.
Students are encouraged to bring their own project initiation documentation for a current or past project to the class. During the workshops, students will develop their business analysis work plan. If students do not have a project, a class case study is available and should be reviewed prior to the first day of class.
Regardless of when the BA joins a project or the project type, this class will guide planners to deliver an intelligent business analysis work plan to the project manager and have a detailed roadmap upon which they can immediately begin to execute. The business analysis work plan may be a single sheet of brief notes on a small project or a more formal document on larger projects. Regardless of the output produced, an excellent business analyst thinks through the plan before starting work.
This course supports and extends the techniques in the IIBA’s BABOK® Guide V2.0.
“Rowing harder doesn’t help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction.”

Intended audience:This course is intended for anyone who is interested in learning a practical approach to planning the necessary business analysis tasks for their project.
Prerequisites: Business analysts registering for this course must have attended Essential Skills for Business Analysis, or have at least 2 years experience in requirements elicitation, analysis, and documentation using structured techniques. contact B2T Training if you would like to pass out of these prerequisites.

facilitating requirements for Business Analysis OverviewThe art of bringing people together, face-to-face or remotely, to elicit requirements and gain consensus on solutions is a critical success factor for all business analysis professionals. This course teaches facilitation techniques that can be used for structured sessions and “facilitation-on-the-fly.” This course goes beyond traditional facilitation training by focusing on facilitation techniques specific to gathering business and functional requirements.
This class is limited to 8 students, allowing each student the opportunity to practice facilitating multiple requirements sessions in a “safe” environment with personalized feedback. Students will spend 60% of class time participating in interactive, real-world business case studies and performing each key role in at least one session.
The workshops in this course require students to plan the requirements workshop, develop the correct questions to ask the group, and facilitate the group to a consensus on the requirements using one of the learned techniques. Students will conduct a requirements workshop for at least one requirement deliverable (i.e., context level dataflow diagram, workflow diagram). This course supports and expands on the techniques in the IIBA BABOK® Guide V2.0.
In this course students will learn to:
n facilitate using proven techniques for eliciting detailed business, functional and non-functional requirements.
n Identify when and how to use each technique.
n Develop confidence and a skill set to conduct requirements workshops.
n Actively practice learned skills and techniques.
n Use a requirements planning session template.
n Prepare the participants for the requirements session.
n Perform each facilitation role through role playing each session.
n conduct the session to stay focused on the core requirement that was planned as a deliverable.
n Select which facilitation technique to use for each core requirement being gathered.
n complete checklists for managing and conducting the session.
n facilitate a requirements workshop.
Intended audience:This course is designed for experienced, knowledgeable business analysts involved with requirements elicitation and analysis. Students are expected to understand the purpose of business and functional requirements.
Prerequisites: We recommend that students first attend our Essential Skills for Business Analysis class or have experience in project scope definition, eliciting requirements from subject matter experts, and understanding how business requirements fit into the entire systems development effort.

Business Analysis essentials for Project managers OverviewThe best way to guarantee success of any type of project is to have a strong, experienced Project Manager and strong, experienced Business Analyst. These two individuals, working together from the beginning of the project, set the stage for success by accurately planning and clearly defining the expected outcomes. Both roles are necessary because they are each responsible for a different set of tasks and they each possess a set of skills that complement each other. The two roles are closely tied, but exactly what are the similarities and differences, and why does a project need both?
This course discusses the role of Business Analysts and the business analysis skills that a Project Manager should also possess. The business analysis skill set includes critical thinking skills, elicitation techniques and requirements analysis and management. experienced project managers may already possess some of these skills, but may apply them differently than BAs. Understanding the complexity of the business analysis role will allow the PM and BA to work seamlessly and increase the project efficiency.
Scoping is one of the most critical areas on which the PM and BA should work together. In addition to the project scope, as defined in the PMBOK™, the BA is responsible for defining the scope of business analysis. When these two components of scope are combined they define the entire boundary of the project. In this course, Project Managers will learn how Business Analysts define the scope of the area for which they will be performing analysis. This is just one example of a task with separate roles for the PM and BA. Understanding their unique roles is critical to project success.
In this course students will:
n learn to analyze and scope the area of analysis to clarify the level and complexity of the business analysis effort needed for the project.
n learn what is an excellent requirement and the difference between business and functional requirements.
n learn the five core components necessary to analyze a business area.
n Be introduced to the most commonly used analysis techniques.
n Discuss alternatives for traceability of requirements.
n Plan an approach for analyzing, categorizing, and managing requirements. Determine the level of formality required and consider options for documenting and packaging requirements based on project type, priorities, and risks.
n Identify techniques and documentation options appropriate for the various software development. approaches and project types (cOTS, maintenance, business process improvement, new development, etc).
n Understand how validating requirements impacts the project and the components of software testing.
n Review business analysis requirements to improve the quality of your deliverables.
Intended audience:This course is designed for Project Managers who are responsible for reviewing requirements, managing the business analysis efforts, overseeing the testing efforts, or obtaining sign-off on the business analysis deliverables. for PMs who are also responsible for gathering the business requirements, we recommend that they attend all of the core courses on business analysis.

requirements validation OverviewThis course takes you through the steps to ensure that business requirements are validated, that the solution is usable and meets the business needs. Validating requirements improves the likelihood of project success, making sure that we are building the right solution. The cost to correct a software defect may be as high as 2900 times the cost to correct a requirement. finding missing requirements and requirements inconsistencies decreases the overall length and cost of the project.
Business analysis and quality assurance professionals must use risk assessments to prioritize requirements and requirements validation activities. The highest risk areas of the business must be addressed first. This course teaches business and quality analysts to design efficient requirements validation tests to make the best use of limited resources and time.
Solution Assessment and Validation is one of the key knowledge areas in the IIBA BABOK® Guide V2.0. This course addresses many of the important tasks in the knowledge area along with giving business analysts the ability to design efficient and effective tests to demonstrate that the application solutions meets their user’s needs.
This course answers many of the key questions about requirements validation including:
n How do we validate requirements?
n Which types of validation and verification processes are appropriate for my project?
n How does the team ensure that the solution meets the business stakeholder needs?
n Where does validation fit in the software development life cycle (SDlc)?
n What is software usability? Why is it important?
n How does the team correct problems when they are discovered?
n How do I work with technical members of the solution team? What do they need from a BA to be successful?
Intended audience:This course is designed for business analysts, quality analysts, project managers, or anyone interested in improving and validating the quality of their requirements.
Prerequisites: We recommend that the Business Analyst has already attended our 4 core courses (or at a minimum Business Process Analysis and Use Case Modeling and Solution Requirements) before enrolling for this course.

Requirements Template Roadmap each project that a business analyst works on is unique and may require different combinations of requirements components. Templates provide a checklist for planning requirements work. The Requirements Template Roadmap helps the business analyst choose appropriate templates to use for each project. To assist business analysts in documenting requirements, we offer a Requirements Package Template that is available on the “Downloads” section of our website. The templates in this package provide business analysts with a structured format for eliciting and documenting requirements. Standard, re-usable templates allow for faster and easier requirements review and approval.
The Requirements Template Roadmap may be used as a companion to B2T Training’s Requirements Package Template. This “Roadmap” serves as a reference tool for business analysts when completing the requirements package based upon the templates. Using this Roadmap as a guideline or “map” for the requirements templates
will help business analysts determine what to include in a requirements package, who should prepare which sections of the package, and when and why the requirements components should be prepared. Additionally, the
Roadmap provides examples of complete requirements templates.
The Requirements Template Roadmap is available for purchase at www.b2ttraining.com.

n Focusing on key BABOK® concepts to maximize your study effects
“After many years of no formal study, I found it almost impossible to concentrate on subject matter that I believed I already knew and had been practicing for years. Your study guide is not an alternative to the BABOK. It led me to read the BABOK several times; each time with an inquiring mind to examine how the authors’ views differed from mine.
High marks on the choice of the 450 questions. The ‘practice exam’ format perfectly prepared me to comfortably pace myself in the exam that I had ample time to recheck my answers.”
