As the main liaison between business and IT departments, the business analyst is responsible for gathering and documenting business requirements and translating them into functional system design specifications that can be executed by IT development teams. Poor requirements definition results in a disconnect between what IT builds and what the business needs — adding cost, causing delays, and leading to solution failure.
It is now becoming clear that while technical knowledge is necessary, it is not sufficient for successfully managing large, enterprise-wide, complex, and mission-critical projects that are the norm today. The disciplines of project management and business analysis are emerging as significant components of successful IT projects.
Management Concepts has created a series of courses specifically oriented to developing and broadening the business analyst skill set to effectively address this emerging critical role in project management. These high-impact courses cover the breadth of non-technical skills needed to navigate the complex landscape that makes up today’s organizational environment.
