AgileBA® Foundation and Practitioner Certification Training

Business Analysts play a crucial role in projects, through analysis of the organization’s needs and the alignment of business projects to those needs.  Introducing an agile approach has a significant impact on the role of the Business Analyst, on their existing skills and their way of working. Whilst traditional skills are still valuable, new skills and ways of working need to be adopted to harness the benefits of a new way of working and to appreciate the different relationships with co-workers and stakeholders.
