BRINGING BUSINESS SOLUTIONS TO LIFE
| Course Description |
|
Bringing Business Solutions to Life focuses on the following key themes of the implementation process from a business analyst perspective: what to implement, how to implement and the process of implementing the solution. “What to implement” includes verifying the business case, scope and requirements, and selecting a technical design. The “how to implement the solution” covers managing requirements, remembering the critical success factors, and validating that the requirements are met. And “implementing the solution” focuses on planning and implementation activities based on the 3 components of the solution: systems, process, and organization. PDUs = 16.
