Our Foundation Training Course offers APMG-accredited training for business analysts in Agile environments, including a free Professional Assessment at the Business Agility Professional Level 1 – Explorer, offered by the Agile Business Consortium.

This course delves into the critical role of a business analyst in an Agile world, integrating the methodologies of Agile Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) with the responsibilities of a business analyst. It’s designed to equip you with the skills to apply Agile principles effectively in real-world projects.

Our AgileBA® course provides vendor-independent, comprehensive best practices. It covers the full project life cycle, offering proven guidance for on-time, on-budget project delivery, scalable to projects of all sizes across various business sectors.

Whether you’re pursuing an AgileBA® certification or exploring AgileBA® training, this course offers the foundation needed to succeed in Agile roles, with content accredited by APMG and recognised worldwide.

The Agile Business Analyst (AgileBA®) certification was developed in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium, a leading authority on business agility for over 25 years. They are the creators of key Agile qualifications, including AgileBA®, AgilePM®, and Agile PMF, and have been pivotal in promoting Agile practices globally.

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.

Based on the Agile Business Consortium’s well-established Agile Project Framework, the guidance gives context to the Business Analyst role beyond the individual project, in relation to organisational mission and strategy, and provides additional depth and guidance for the Business Analyst role.

This AgileBA course covers the 13 areas in the Agile BA handbook over 12 modules. They are:

Introduction and The Role of a Business Analyst in an Agile World
Agile Fundamentals and the Agile BA
The Agile Business Case
Stakeholders in an Agile Project
Requirements and User Stories
Prioritisation
Workshops
Modelling
Timeboxing and Iterative Development
Requirements Planning and Estimating Throughout the Lifecycle
