Business Analysis Foundations
About this course
Business Analysis Foundations covers the core skills of the business analyst role: understanding stakeholder needs and translating them into requirements, process mapping and gap analysis, use case development, acceptance criteria, working with development teams, and the BABOK framework that defines professional BA practice. It's a compact course that establishes the vocabulary and methodology of business analysis for practitioners transitioning from other roles.
Business Analyst is one of the most common title targets for professionals transitioning from project management, operations, or consulting roles into more technically adjacent work. This course provides the foundational vocabulary and frameworks without requiring technical skills — positioning learners to apply the methodology in their specific domain.
