Course Overview

Top

This AgileBA® Foundation and Practitioner training and certification has been designed to give the Business Analyst the skills needed to successfully gather, analyse, validate and champion the requirements throughout an Agile project. It also gives context to the Agile Business Analyst role beyond the individual project, in relation to organisational mission and strategy, providing additional depth and guidance for business analysis in an Agile context.

The AgileBA syllabus and exams are based on the AgileBA Handbook, published by DSDM. The Handbook offers the first comprehensive set of guidance, framework and practices for the business analyst working on an Agile project. The Business Analyst is a critical role within an Agile project team and with more and more organisations adopting Agile approaches, we need to ensure those performing this crucial role have the necessary skills and expertise.

Developed by APMG in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium (FORMERLY DSDM Consortium), AgileBA® is a new guidance, training and certification scheme designed for business analysts working in an Agile environment.
