Course FAQs

No. No prerequisites are required. The course establishes the practical foundations of Agile business analysis while also providing experienced practitioners with techniques they can apply immediately.

Participants do not need programming or technical experience. The focus is on clarifying business needs, analyzing value, discovering requirements, refining user stories, defining acceptance criteria, working with stakeholders, and supporting iterative delivery.

Business analysts, product professionals, project and program managers, Scrum and Agile professionals, subject matter experts, developers, testers, and other delivery team members can all benefit from the methodology.

Agile business analysis is the continuous practice of clarifying business needs, refining requirements, and supporting solution decisions throughout iterative delivery.

Rather than treating analysis as a separate phase completed before development begins, Agile analysis progressively develops the right level of business knowledge and requirements at the right time.

Participants learn how business analysis, stakeholder collaboration, prioritization, user stories, acceptance criteria, process and data analysis, and continuous feedback work together to reduce ambiguity and rework while keeping delivery aligned with measurable business value.

Participants learn how to develop user stories that communicate meaningful business needs rather than simply reducing requirements to short statements.

The course addresses:

• Essential elements of an effective user story
• Supporting user story artifacts and documentation
• Just-enough, just-in-time analysis
• Creating user stories from use case scenarios
• Distilling actionable INVEST items from larger stories
• Defining clear customer acceptance criteria

The goal is to create requirements that remain lightweight enough for Agile delivery while providing enough clarity for shared understanding, implementation, validation, and acceptance.

Agile analysis requires teams to distinguish what is valuable from what must occur first and to continuously manage the moving parts of delivery.

Participants learn techniques for:

• Separating business priorities from implementation dependencies
• Balancing business value with time, talent, quality, risk, and budget
• Managing backlogs, Kanbans, and queues
• Supporting sprint planning, roles, and execution
• Managing scope, expectations, and changing priorities

These techniques help teams make more informed tradeoffs while maintaining alignment between current work and desired business outcomes.

The course emphasizes professional discovery rather than simply accepting requested features or recording stakeholder statements.

Participants examine key sources of business knowledge and apply elicitation techniques that uncover the underlying needs, rules, constraints, expectations, and business context required for effective analysis.

Facilitation skills include:

• Planning effective workshops and facilitated sessions
• Identifying and organizing the right participants
• Applying facilitation technique best practices
• Capturing, validating, and refining the knowledge developed during sessions

These capabilities help Agile teams maintain continuous stakeholder engagement without sacrificing analytical depth or requirements quality.

Yes. Practical application is an important part of the course.

Participants work through realistic exercises and an Agile analysis case study in which they develop a set of user stories supporting a complex combination of business and systems requirements.

The case study provides a reusable model participants can adapt to help establish or strengthen Agile analysis practices within their own teams and organizations.
