Course Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
AI isn’t just a buzzword anymore, it’s becoming part of how we do business every day.
For Business Analysts, that means the role is evolving. The way you gather requirements, analyze processes, document findings, and communicate with stakeholders can all be faster and more effective with the right AI tools.
This course is designed to show you how to make AI your productivity partner, not a replacement.
I will walk you through practical, real-world examples of how BAs can use AI at every stage of their work. You’ll see how tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity can help brainstorm requirements or polish stakeholder communications, how Lucidchart AI can generate process diagrams, and how Power BI Copilot and ThoughtSpot can turn raw data into insights you can use in decision-making. We’ll also cover meeting tools like Fireflies that make sure no detail gets lost in conversations.
But it’s not all about shiny tools. We’ll spend time talking about the limitations of AI - issues like bias, fairness, data quality, and transparency. These are critical areas where BAs play a huge role in ensuring that what AI produces is reliable, ethical, and aligned with business needs. You’ll learn simple ways to check AI outputs, validate assumptions, and explain AI-driven insights to stakeholders who may be skeptical or cautious.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to confidently:
Apply AI to speed up and improve requirements gathering, process modeling, and documentation
Use AI-driven analytics and visualization tools to uncover patterns and insights
Communicate clearly and effectively with stakeholders using AI assistance
Recognize the risks of AI and know how to mitigate them
Position yourself as an AI-savvy Business Analyst who adds strategic value to projects
This course is for both aspiring and experienced Business Analysts who want to stay relevant in an AI-driven workplace.
It’s also a great fit for project managers, product owners, and consultants who often wear the BA hat. No coding or technical background is required — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment with new ways of working.

Georgi Smarts
Hello!
I’m Georgi, though most know me as George Smarts.
I’ve spent 12 years helping Fortune 500 companies improve the way they deliver projects, solve data challenges, and work as teams. I love what I do and I enjoy teaching others how to get real results using the same skills and tools I’ve mastered over the years.
I’ve had the chance to work on large-scale international IT and data initiatives, and along the way I’ve used just about every major project management platform, productivity tool, and a growing range of AI solutions. My approach is practical and hands on. Everything I teach comes from real experience, not theory.
Here are the areas I focus on and why they matter to me:
• Project Management software tools. I enjoy discovering features that help people work together more efficiently and deliver better outcomes. I have experience with all the big players in this space.
• Data and analytics. I’ve led many data initiatives. I enjoy making complex concepts simple and helping others build confidence using data to make decisions.
• AI tools for everyday work. I help professionals understand how to use AI to reduce repetitive tasks, improve communication, strengthen planning, and make better decisions.

This might have been a helpful course, but unless you have an upgraded account, you won't get the practice portion, which makes it pretty much worthless. Once you realize this, it is too late, according to Udemy, to get a refund because the small print is based on usage percentage, and no refund is allowed. Talk about bait and switch.

I've recently taken several AI trainings and this was the most interesting course by far. I love the fact that it was very interactive, and there were several really great labs included. I'll end up going back to use the labs as practice as I'm becoming more comfortable with using AI in my role. Thank you for putting this together.

I looked at several free videos first. The Copilot Excel videos got me past not using Copilot to become a true believer in 5 minutes. I took one of my main data spreadsheets and started asking questions. It was super!

Ottimo corso! Docente molto chiaro e accurato nell'esposizione e negli approfondimenti. Il corso permette di comprendere la logica e le "attenzioni" fondamentali che si devono avere nella scrittura di un prompt efficace e nella creazione di GPTs personalizzati per un Business Analyst. Grazie!

This is good match for understading so many hidden points regarding stakeholdes requirements, problems listing, needs and wants ,removing non-required wants which actually will make the project lengthy, complicated, high-end cost, and unnecessary focussing on those areas which are actually not needed.
By Imran Ayub Khan on 8/19/2026
Thank you so much for the detailed course with hands-on practice. I gained a very good knowledge of Chat GPT features and how it can assist me with daily customer support and business analysis tasks. All the best!
By Jose Pablo Guerra Betancourt on 8/18/2026
Excellent course with a strong focus on practical, real-world applications. What I liked most is the large number of hands-on examples throughout the course. Instead of focusing only on AI theory, the instructor demonstrates step by step how to use tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and custom GPTs for real Business Analyst activities including requirements gathering, data analysis, documentation, user story creation, BRD generation, transcript analysis, process mapping, test scenario generation, and even database design. The end-to-end project is especially valuable because it shows how AI can support a Business Analyst throughout an entire project lifecycle. The downloadable resources, reusable prompts, and templates provide immediate value and can be applied directly to real projects. I highly recommend this course to both experienced Business Analysts and professionals who want to start leveraging AI to improve their productivity and deliver better outcomes.

I learned the many different things that AI can do as a Business Analyst assistant to me. It opens up a whole new world of what's possible. I'm looking forward to apply it in my everyday tasks.

Unfortunately, the course is too generic that you can basically search and interact random stuff regarding Business analyst aspect and reach same level as this course.
By Dieter Wolf on 3/2/2026
This course was well-paced, goes into a good level of detail, and is well structured. There are various resources that are provided that enable you to learn more or follow along practically by trying it for yourself. I would highly recommend this course.
