Business Analysis pathway in action

Great course which breaks down the content into useful chucks to digest. Makes sense of the complexity of each stage a BA will have to work within.

Business Analyst Foundations
The processes outlined in this course is very beneficial - even from the standpoint of a stakeholder. Personally I know that not all IT projects go to plan and I would have loved knowing this information before hand (to better be able to manage the PMO and main developer.

Business Analyst Foundations
Well structured, informative, good use of real life examples & SMEs. However, a lot of theory to take in. Good use of course structure, and videos. A lot to take in, but short enough to stay focused.
