Business Analysis for the Project Manager

Training Provided by World Class Productivity Inc A Business Analysis course for project managers? Absolutely! While the Business Analyst position is still rather new to many organizations, their primary role - to define and document user requirements and thereby help bridge the gap between the client and the solution team, has always been an essential ingredient for achieving project success. There are usually not enough dedicated Business Analysts to go around, therefore on small to medium size projects the role, if not the title, of business analysis often falls on the shoulders of the project manager, or other core team members. In fact, in addition to project managers, subject matter experts (SME), and account managers often find themselves in the position of having to elicit client requirements and then document them in a way in which they will accurately translate into the project deliverables. For larger projects, it is important that the project manager understand the value that a professional Business Analyst will bring to the project. It is also important that the Project Manager and Business Analyst roles are clearly defined in such cases. Taught through a series of discussions, examples, and real world hands-on exercises drawn from IT projects, participants of this two-day workshop will come away with tools they can apply immediately, whether their primary role is that of a Project Manager, Business Analyst, Account Manager, Consultant, Developer, or other core project team member.
