About this course
Our Agile BA course is an engaging 2-day session designed to provide Business Analysts with the knowledge and techniques to optimise the delivery of requirements, ensure that teams build relevant products and assist Product Owners manage the demands of complex initiatives.
Aligned with the Agile Extension to the BABOK Guide by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), this course will prepare anyone who is interested in taking the Agile Analysis Certification (IIBA-AAC) exam.
Our highly engaging and interactive online course (laptop or desktop with Internet connection required) includes:
- downloadable training materials;
- real-time instruction
- real-world application
- relatable examples
The course will contain the same unique AxisAgile content and the class size will remain limited to ensure all attendees are still able to effectively collaborate with each other and with both trainers. Completed in real time, attendees will work together in small teams and learn not only from the trainers but also from each other through discussion in breakout sessions, exercises, targeted games and simulations.
