Agile Business Analysis:
Mastering the Art of Agility: Better, Faster, Value Driven Requirements

IIBA Endorsed Education Provider| ACCET Acccredited 

In today's fast-paced business environment, the demand for accurate requirements is constant, yet time always seems scarce. With organizations operating lean and knowledge fragmented across silos, gaining consensus from diverse subject matter experts can be daunting. Sound familiar?

Inteq's Agile Business Analysis training course transcends established methodology; it offers a strategic approach for achieving successful, responsive, customer-centric outcomes - your blueprint for requirements management success.

Across an immersive two days, you and your team will acquire the skills, knowledge, and best practices to:

  • Accelerate Deliverables: Agile methods facilitate small, rapid incremental releases, expediting review and iteration cycles.
  • Enhance Quality: Identify and correct issues early, avoiding major problems down the line through better collaboration and ongoing feedback.
  • Maximize Resource Efficiency: With a focus on value, Agile ensures smart, efficient allocation and utilization of resources (time, talent, budget) to deliver tangible value.

Agile Business Analysis harnesses best-practice skills, methods, and techniques gleaned from numerous analysis projects, and is aligned with the Agile Extension to the IIBA BABOK® Guide. It's more than training; it's your toolkit and roadmap to mastering Agile Business Analysis.

  • Projects often span multiple business areas with different, sometimes conflicting, business practices.
  • Getting "buy in" and support from a wide range of sponsors and subject matter experts is critical.
  • Organizations are lean. No one seems to know "the business" - only pieces.
  • Access to knowledgeable subject matter experts is increasingly difficult - often resulting in an endless chain of references to "someone who knows".
  • Business is fast paced. Innovation is essential. Everyone needs a solution “now”!
  • There never seems to be enough time to get it right. However, there is little tolerance for getting it wrong.
  • Delivering increasing levels of customer and business value is essential to competitiveness.
  • Organizations continually evaluate, prioritize and fund projects based on delivering organizational effectiveness and operational efficiency. 

Inteq’s Agile Business Analysis course leverages the best practice skills, methods and techniques gleaned from projects  across the spectrum of industries coherently organized in connection with the Agile Extension to the BABOK® Guide.

Agile Business Analysis is the perfect follow-on to inteq’s Business Systems Analysis, Business Processes Modeling, Business Process Management courses.
