Foundation
The Foundation course provides comprehensive instruction and hands-on practice using a realistic case study, so the concepts and techniques are applied as they are learned.
By the end of the Foundation course, you will be able to:
- Ask the right questions and challenge assumptions so effort is focused on the right problems
- Connect strategy, value, delivery and outcomes across the three Value Horizons
- Apply practical tools including Intent, Scope, Approach (ISA), OKRs and user story mapping
- Work effectively with stakeholders across the Domains of Interest and use facilitated workshops to build shared understanding
- Use AI responsibly while keeping human judgement and accountability at the centre
- Prepare for the AgileBA Foundation examination
Practitioner
The Practitioner course builds on Foundation, developing advanced skills to align change with strategy, manage complexity, deliver measurable value and apply AI responsibly.
The course also helps prepare candidates for the AgileBA Practitioner exam.
By the end of the Practitioner course, you will be able to:
- Align change initiatives with organisational strategy and value delivery goals
- Analyse and interpret complex business environments and challenge assumptions and cognitive biases
- Model and decompose complex business, process and technology change
- Collaborate effectively to engineer quality using advanced validation techniques
- Measure and validate value through experimentation, evidence and operational metrics
- Apply AI responsibly to support strategy alignment, analysis, modelling, validation and value realisation
This course fully prepares candidates for the AgileBA Practitioner certification exam.
Please note that the Practitioner course is an exam preparation course and focuses on the application of AgileBA to prepare candidates for the Practitioner exam.
KEY TOPICS
Across Foundation and Practitioner, the courses cover:
Business Agility and the AgileBA mindset
Why business analysis is a competency shared across roles, and how it helps organisations focus on value, outcomes and evidence.
From strategy to delivery
Connect strategic intent to delivery and measurable value using the three Value Horizons, OKRs and techniques including Impact Mapping and Hoshin Kanri.
Stakeholders and facilitation
Balancing the Domains of Interest, user research and personas, and running facilitated workshops that build shared understanding.
Framing and navigating complexity
Frame the right problem, understand uncertainty and choose an appropriate response using Intent, Scope, Approach (ISA), VUCA, Cynefin and safe-to-fail experiments
Iterative requirements and quality
Backlogs and user stories, story mapping, prioritisation and INVEST, plus building quality in through collaborative testing.
AI and the Human Compass
Using AI to widen options while keeping direction, judgement and accountability with people.
Evidence and value realisation
Continuous improvement, experiments and value streams, and using evidence to decide what to scale, adapt, pause or stop.
Practitioner builds on Foundation. It introduces new techniques, applies AgileBA to more complex real-world scenarios, and prepares participants for the Practitioner exam.
