Business analysis has become a competency of critical importance to project management. Inaccurate requirements gathering consistently ranks in the top three causes of project failure yet only half of organisations have the resources in place to perform this function properly, according to PMI Pulse of the Profession® research.

This course will provide you with the key tools and techniques required to identify, analyse and manage the requirements in order to ensure that the goal of the project is achieved. This course is designed to function as a standalone offering, or to assist learners studying towards achieving the Project Management Institute’s Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)®. The course materials are based on industry best practices from ISO standards, the PM.Ideas Project Management Maturity Model, and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) - Seventh Edition and Business Analysis for Practitioners - A Practice Guide.

This course is based on the PMI’s Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide. It is a complementary document to PMI’s foundational standards. The practice guide guides applying practical business analysis practices to programs and projects and driving successful business outcomes. We will distinguish between the role of the Project Manager and the Business Analyst throughout the training.

The choice of business analysis practices and how organisations tailor what they implement depends on organisational culture, methodological norms, and how much change an organisation is willing and able to embrace.
