LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Why a business analyst needs to know the core business processes
How to derive the core business processes
When should a business analyst identify core business processes
How does a business analyst use core business processes to propose solution change
DESCRIPTION
Frequently business stakeholders provide solutions to business analysts without understanding the true cause of the problem. What results is twofold: the solution does not address the real problem and the BA is reduced to just taking an order. Rather than taking an order, experienced business analysts step back and ensure they understand the goals of the business (the core business processes) to the extent that they uncover the real problem or opportunity. Business Analysts become problem-solvers before accepting a solution path for their organization and often act as change agents to implement process improvements. In this webinar, we will highlight the process of identifying and using core business processes to create value and better solutions for the organization you support. You will learn a seven-step approach to define your core processes and learn how to use that understanding in the context of your solution definition.
