This UK Bootcamp Teaches Essential Agile Business Analyst Skills In A Short Time
The role of an Agile business analyst sounds simple enough: use the Agile method to solve business problems. But for the founders of Elisto, achieving this seemingly straightforward goal entails developing real-world "hard" skills, which are not commonly taught to learners.
Their response is the creation of the Agile Business Analyst Bootcamp, built on almost two decades of experience in practical problem-solving using Agile business analysis principles. More information is available at https://elisto.org/collections/courses/products/agile-business-analysis-boot-camp
Practical... Agile
Elisto's bootcamp offers you access to 12 modules of expert online training covering topics such as roadmap creation, digital tooling, gap analysis, and more. Whether you're a junior or trainee analyst or simply want to expand your knowledge in this area, the classes will provide you with invaluable skills to master business analysis!
Sessions are held weekly and provide a full day’s worth of training in practical business analysis skills, tools, and techniques. Classes are delivered online, starting at 9 am and finishing at 5 pm UK time. Each course concludes with an informal appraisal, allowing you to monitor your progress.
“Most professional IT-related courses are very woolly and focus on values and concepts, rather than the hard skills required to make a real difference in the modern professional world," a spokesperson for Elisto said. "Our courses are based on almost two decades of professional experience and are designed to give you the most value in a packed day, rich with knowledge and expertise.”
Agile Toolkit Essentials
You'll be introduced to Agile techniques such as backlog refinement, including defining readiness criteria, test plans, information preparation, and forecasting. Other techniques, such as behaviour-driven development, use real-life examples to help you better understand your customers’ needs and implement effective product cases.
You'll also learn how to implement techniques like process mapping, which generates visual representations of business processes for detailed analysis. By identifying weaknesses and inefficiencies through visual data, you can make recommendations to improve workflow and cost efficiency.
Additional topics include SOSTAC—situational analysis, objectives, strategy, tactics, actions, and control—planning, a system that encourages greater flexibility and the evolution of outreach strategies in response to market events, consumer behaviour, and competition.
“We will help you learn all about your customers and stakeholders and how to become an effective Agile Business Analyst in an Agile environment. These are actual tried-and-tested methods that we have used over almost two decades," Elisto's spokesperson added. "There is zero 'academic' filler, just real-world techniques—ideal for the postgraduate or apprentice looking to learn what they should be doing from day one.”
Expand Your Network
In addition to the learning content, you can connect with a large network of contacts via the Elisto LinkedIn page and access post-session support from Jude Mahoney, Elisto's co-founder and resident instructor. You will also be given introductions to recruiters and like minded professionals, helping you with your career path.
