ONLINE TRAINING FOR BEGINNER AND JUNIOR BUSINESS ANALYSTS

Start Strong in Your Business Analysis Role

You’ve just started your first business analyst role. The project is already moving, your calendar is filling up and everyone assumes you know the background. Start Strong gives you a first-week plan for deciding what to read, who to speak to and what to do first.

What to do in your first week as a business analyst

It’s easy to spend your first week collecting information without knowing what you need from it. Use the course to clarify the project’s purpose, identify who can answer your questions and plan your first piece of analysis.

What you’ll practise

  • Set clear onboarding objectives and use a three-step sequence to work towards them.

  • Identify which project documents to review, request or create.

  • Recognise the information a business case needs and use it to understand why a change is being considered.

  • Identify stakeholders and plan the conversations you need to understand the project.

Try it on your own project

Start with three questions. What is the project trying to change? Who can explain why it matters? Which document or conversation will help you decide what to do next?

The course includes seven video lessons, downloadable resources and an onboarding knowledge check. You can use the document examples and templates to put the ideas into practice.

Who this course is for

Choose Start Strong if you’re in your first BA role or you’re a junior BA joining an unfamiliar project and want a clearer plan for your first week.
