Business Analysis
Whether you have “analyst” in your title or not, you do business analysis. The current trends show business analysts becoming more technical in nature which is leaving room for organizations to transform the way they get work done. More and more the analysis duties are becoming a shared responsibility across the business and IT teams. Is it time to get ahead of the change curve? Entire organizations need analysis skills to meet the oncoming changes of digital transformation, Agile adoption, and delivering the solutions that can compete in the 21st century.
Can you say yes to any of the following?
We need to strengthen the leadership skills, strategic analysis, digital transformation, and systems thinking of our current business analysts.
We need a business analysis boot camp to get our entire team speaking the same language and performing similar tasks.
We need to educate our Agile teams so they all do parts of the business analysis necessary to be successful.
The Uncommon League has one of the most robust business analysis training programs to meet your needs. Curated and taught by Bob the BA and the Out of the Box BA – two of the industry’s most respected and well known business analysis trainers.

Scheduled Courses
Planning & Estimating
When there isn’t a one-size fits all approach to analysis, we need to take time at the beginning of the project to plan out what it will take to ensure that requirements are well understood and well documented.
Documenting & Managing
Once you’ve elicited and modeled, there’s a good chance you need to create some type of documentation to ensure that requirements are well understood. Whether you are working in a traditional, plan-driven environment or in an agile-like situation, this course will help you write well-formed requirements. We’ll also work through where the business analyst fits in to the project process after the requirements are documented. Prioritization, traceability, and testing, oh my!
Analysis & Modeling
There’s more to the BA role than just taking notes or scribing at meetings. This course helps us put the analysis in the Business Analyst! Let’s create order from the chaos and create a deeper understanding of what was uncovered during the elicitation process. We’ll learn the nuts and bolts of modeling as well as how to use models as an alternative elicitation method, and how to extract requirements from models.
Stakeholders & Elicitation
In order to be effective during elicitation and to ensure a complete understanding of requirements, we need to identify and analyze who the stakeholders are and what makes them tick. Once we know who we’re working with and their motivations for the initiative, we can focus on facilitating effective collaborative elicitation sessions. We’ll explore a model for requirements elicitation, including how to select elicitation techniques that will help you reach your goals. We aren’t known as the technique guys for nothing! We’ll discuss and practice several classic and modern elicitation techniques too!
Vision & Scope
How are projects or initiatives created and defined? When is strategy defined and how is it communicated? When should we build bespoke software or purchase something from a vendor? How can we understand the scope of an effort and communicate it clearly?
