Business Analysis Certificate

Overview

A Business Analyst serves as the key liaison between the client, stakeholders, and the solutions team, gathering and documenting business, organizational and operational requirements, and using them to guide functional system design. In many organizations, the title of this role may be different but the core skills and processes are the same. Examples include Systems Analysts, Functional Analysts, Program Managers, and many more. The common theme for each is the ability to perform business analysis and providing better value on your process improvement project. The ability to interact with multiple groups of people, at all levels, and document their needs in a format that can be used as a foundation for the development of a new process or software system is a critical need for businesses today.
