AgileBA® Foundation and Practitioner Course Overview

This Agile Business Analysis Foundation and Practitioner training course is an integrated course, which enables delegates to acquire both Foundation and Practitioner certifications.

This Business Analysis training course intends to provide Business Analysts with such specialist abilities. Delegates will learn to analyse and meet the precise requirements of Agile projects.

Delegates will be able to assess and understand stakeholder requirements, which is vital in achieving business performance improvements. The Agile Business Analysis Foundation section of the course will take 3 days to complete, then on the final day will focus on the Agile Business Analysis Practitioner content. 

We recommend Agile Business Analyst Handbook manual (ISBN No: 978-0992872786) prior to the course to accompany your learning. But it is not included in course fees.
