Course Overview
Business analysis plays a vital role in ensuring organisations understand problems clearly before building solutions. The BA Foundations training programme introduces the essential skills and mindset required for effective business analysis within modern project and product environments.
Over two structured days, learners explore how Business Analysts identify business needs, gather requirements, and support collaboration between stakeholders and delivery teams. The programme introduces key concepts such as stakeholder analysis, requirement documentation, and process understanding.
This mentor-led programme emphasises learning through practical scenarios rather than theory alone. Participants practise identifying business problems, documenting simple requirements, mapping basic workflows, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
