BA114 The Competencies of a Business Analyst

About This Course

      

Knowing how to apply the tools and techniques of business analysis does not guarantee that a professional will become a valued analyst. The process by which the analyst carries out the work is nearly as important as the work itself.

In this course, participants will analyze and experiment with several behaviors, characteristics, competencies, and personal qualities that support their business analyst training. Participants will also complete a specially designed questionnaire that will help them evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses and prepare an action plan for personal development.

This course provides an intermediate level of proficiency in the Underlying Competencies knowledge area as defined by the IIBA BABOK.
