Overview/Description
There are various types of solution development methodologies that a business analyst must consider when modeling software or business systems. These approaches include business process, object-oriented, and structured analysis methodologies. Though the decision of which methodology to use depends on the culture and standards of the organization, a business analyst can only properly represent the solution by first understanding each of the modeling techniques. This course will examine how to use process and flow, data and behavior, and usage models to analyze requirements. This course is aligned with the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK®) published by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA™). It is designed to assist in the preparation for the IIBA's Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP™) certification.
