The business analyst must identify, define and precisely document user requirements. Understanding user needs is a determining factor in an analyst's success.
The business analyst must identify, define and precisely document user requirements. Understanding user needs is a determining factor in an analyst's success.
By using logical data modeling, a business analyst can convey requirements in such a way that they are easy to validate. Through templates, all stakeholders can understand the requirements, business rules, and data management methods for a given project.
During this course, business analysts will have hands-on exercises in requirements modeling, using entity-relationship diagrams, super types, and subtypes, as well as attributive and associative entities. Logical data modeling involves working directly with business users to specify their needs.
Students pursuing their certification towards an accredited certificate and/or by a recognized university in Canada must attend at least 90% of the courses. 100 of the class courses, participate in the exercises as well as the knowledge checks on the section, then obtain a minimum mark of 72 p. 100 in an assessment consisting of 25 multiple choice questions.
Who Should Wait?
Systems, business analysts; IT project managers, associate project managers, project managers, project coordinators, project analysts, project leaders, senior project managers, team leaders; product and program managers.
