About this course
Course overview
Agile teams still need strong business analysis. They just need it at the speed of delivery.
Agile Business Analysis is a two-day workshop for professionals who translate business needs into clear, testable backlog work. The course shows how the business analysis role changes in Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe environments, and how to keep analysis rigorous without turning it into a handoff-heavy bottleneck.
Participants practice story mapping, journey mapping, backlog decomposition, user story writing, acceptance criteria, Gherkin examples, estimation, prioritization, and continuous discovery. The emphasis is practical: learn how to help teams make better product decisions, clarify value, and maintain momentum through just-enough analysis.
This course documents 16 hours of structured training. Learners receive a certificate of completion and documentation for self-reporting applicable PMI PDUs and IIBA professional development activity.
