BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
Course Dates: 2nd - 6th November 09

In partnership with
 

NextGen in partnership with Software Education's Business Systems Analysis course is THE place to get a complete and comprehensive understanding of the goals, processes, tasks and activities of the "universal translator" role - the Business Analyst, who needs to have an understanding of real business needs and represent these needs to technologists, either an internal development team or an outsourced service provider.

This course teaches

  • A proven, disciplined structured approach to understanding business systems
  • How to conduct interviews and information gathering workshops
  • How to document system requirements
  • how to identify the need for information systems within an organisation how to ensure that the resulting engineered system deliver real benefit to the organisation
By the end of the course the participants will know how to conduct a business systems analysis assignment, from the initial feasibility study and setting of objectives, fact-finding and investigation of the requirements, documentation, critical appraisal and production of the requirements specification in the most appropriate format for the project. These techniques and skills apply no matter what development approach the organisation uses - Agile, CMM, Waterfall, RUP, or a home-grown methodology.

Emphasis is placed on the close involvement that the analyst must have with the users and technical team at all levels of the organisation and building good relationship and communications skills is one of the most import aspects of the course.

A comprehensive case study is used throughout the course, and the students get to apply their new-found skills in a realistic modern project.
