One of the great myths of Agile is that there is no Business Analyst on the team. Don’t worry, analysis still needs to be done and requirements must be understood. We’ll take a look at how this all happens within different flavors of Agile. There is more to it than a user story right? This course helps to identify how business analysis can be done in Agile and how the Business Analyst performs their work as a valued team member, giving them the essential skills to successfully navigate an Agile environment. This will help you deal with business analysis, hybridization of roles and methodologies and much more.

As a business analyst, I want to be able to perform business analysis on an Agile project, so that (insert benefit here!).
