Introduction
Business systems analysis is the discovering, analyzing, modeling, and specification of the logical requirements of a business in order to design and build effective business solutions.
Business systems analysis requires specialized knowledge and skills. The process of identifying and defining business requirements is very different from applying technology to address business requirements.
Participants will gain knowledge of the best techniques and methods for gathering requirements from users and other stakeholders; develop business and data models that describe these requirements and write detailed specifications that provide an accurate blueprint for the designing, building, and testing of the proposed system. They will also learn how business systems analysis techniques can be related and integrated using the Architecture Framework to ensure that all the requirements are comprehensively described and correctly defined.
