Advanced Business Analysis: Elicitation & Analysis

STARWEAVER studies elicitation and collaboration before requirements analysis and design definition. The outcomes include interviews, focus groups, user stories and use cases. This is a continuation for learners who want to compare how different analysis methods expose needs, especially when several stakeholders describe a problem in different terms.

What you will learn

• Compare interviews and focus groups for elicitation.
• Relate user stories and use cases to analysis.
• Connect requirements analysis with design definition.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners; a fundamental understanding of business analysis is recommended, although the course accommodates varied backgrounds.

Before you enroll

Use a fictional business case for practice. Compare the evidence behind a proposed change with its assumptions, and check how you would evaluate the result before recommending implementation.
