Identify & Define the Problem with Business Analysis (Udemy.com)

Looking to get ECBA®, CCBA®, or CBAP® certified or recertified? - This course qualifies for 4 PD Hours/CDUs!

Become the Business Analyst everyone wants to work with by learning how to solve an organization’s problem before they make a costly mistake.

Many organizations think that the most important thing to do when faced with a problem is to solve it as quickly as possible – but they couldn’t be more wrong.

Abraham Lincoln famously once said “give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”, when talking about the importance of preparation – and that advice can apply to solving business problems too.

Companies will often want to jump straight into finding a solution without taking the time to prepare and fully understand the problem – this results in sub-optimal solutions, or worse, a solution that doesn’t even solve the problem.

It is your responsibility as a Business Analyst to prevent this from happening…

And this course will teach you exactly how to do that.

Course enrollment grants you lifetime access, with no expiration, to all the course lectures, activities, handouts, and quizzes. In addition, you’ll also receive 1-on-1 support for any questions or uncertainties that come up. And this all comes with a money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

The BA Guide’s 5 Step Process to Identify & Define a Business Problem

In this course, I’ll teach you my 5-step method on how to use business analysis techniques to identify an organization’s pain points and how to go about solving them.
