Early Bird Pricing Ends October 10, 2025 | The Lean and Agile mindsets and their practices give the Business Analyst new and powerful tools for quickly determining precisely what to build. Traditional system-development methodologies are just not responsive enough to the ever increasing pace of change. Building a system based on yesterday’s needs is not a success even if delivered on time and on budget. This indispensable course explores the critical need for good requirements development in an Agile environment and equips business analysts with the critical thinking, analytical skills, and necessary people skills they need to add value to every Agile project. This practical workshop provides participants with an understanding of the changing role of the business analyst as a co-creator of requirements rather than as an order taker. Participants learn the tools and techniques best suited to Agile, and the timing for performing key tasks and events. Explanatory, demonstrations, and practice exercises will provide you with the experience needed to create user stories that meet business needs. The International Consortium for Agile has worked with experts around the world to develop an education roadmap of training and certification for all specialties involved in Agile development. This course has been approved and earns students the ICAgile Certified Professional in Business Value Analysis designation upon successful completion of the course. Completion of this course satisfies part of the requirements for IC-Agile’s ICP-APO certification. This course qualifies for 14 PDHs/CDUs for all IIBA® certifications.
