2382 - Leadership in Business Analysis

Course Description

Organizations are constantly evolving to perform better and compete. Currently, many organizations are transforming through digital initiatives, lean thinking, and agile practices.   This creates even greater opportunities for those who can be an integrating influence, making teams work better, and leading collaboration between stakeholders.  This role is tailor-made for someone who understands how and when people can work productively together, and what the individual Business Analyst (BA) can do to bring about these conditions. Much of the influence of a BA comes from their own behaviour, as their leadership is of the facilitative kind, a style of leadership honed throughout this course. Whether working in agile teams, in traditional Waterfall projects or assisting with product development, the leadership skills gained on this course will translate to increased professional value.

This course will teach you tools and techniques identified in the BABOK® Guide v3 and PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA®) content, allowing you to deliver more value to your organization.
