SUMMARY:How to Apply Business Analysis Strategies for Successful Project Management
DESCRIPTION:PMI Training Virtual April 18\, 2023\nRegister Here \n8:00 am to 5: pm\, Eastern Time Zone          Price : $780 \nInstructor: Greta Blash\, PMI-ACP\, DASSM\, PMI-PBA\, PMP\, PgMP \nTraining Description:The role of a business analyst is to identify business needs and recommend relevant solutions\, including therequirements to deliver those solutions. These go beyond requirements gathering to a detailed understanding ofthe why\, what and who. Since many projects do not have the luxury of a business analyst\, that role is assumed bythe project manager.In this training\, we will look at the role of the business analyst and the additional activities that are performed ona project by that role. These often begin well before the project is selected and initiated\, with a needsidentification and a business case to help justify the project. This provides the overall vision or the “why” andexpectations for the final result\, including the key stakeholders\, risk strategy\, project/product roadmap andanticipated benefits.Throughout the project\, the business analyst and project manager collaborate to dive deeper into therequirements within the scope\, particularly the product scope. Through these elicitation and analysis efforts\, the“Definition of Ready” can be met when providing the requirements to the delivery team. With the business analystworking closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations\, much of the communicationactivity with the stakeholders is provided by the business analyst. Once requirements are determined\, and thedelivery effort is started\, the business analyst ensures requirements verification and testing. The business analystalso helps ensure that the customer is prepared to receive the final product — including any training\,documentation\, or possible conversions about the environment.This training utilizes an engaging discussion\, with both individual and group exercises and role playing tounderstand different opportunities for the combination of these roles\, especially when projects utilize a morehybrid approach.After the training\, the training material will provide you with additional sources of information and guidelines forproviding support for the project business analysis activities\, regardless of the roles that support the project.Learning Objectives:Upon completion of this training\, participants will be able to:• Enhance project management activities with business analysis competencies• Perform additional planning activities that are traditionally performed by a business analyst• Use tools and techniques to support more detailed requirements elicitation and analysis \n• Know the importance of the enhanced engagement with stakeholders to understand how to deliver expectedresults• Employ business analysis competencies to avoid inefficiencies\, mistakes and reworking\, and deliver projectson time and within budget constraints \nAgenda• What is Project Management and BusinessAnalysis?• Business Analysis Competencies• Initiating the Projecto Needs Assessmento Solution Recommendationso Business Caseo Visioning/Project Charter• Stakeholders• Planning the Project• Project Management Plan• Business Analysis Plans• Requirements Traceability• Requirements Change Control• Scope Management Plan• Analysis and Elicitationo Elicitation Techniqueso Analysis Modelso Requirements Baseline• Traceability and Monitoring• Solution Evaluationo Verification and Validationo Validation• Closing and Transitioning the Projecto Closing the Project or Phase• Transition the Solution
