Why take this course?

In the beginning of my career, I was assigned to projects where the solution had already been selected, and I considered that to be very normal. That's the way things are done, I thought, and I never thought to question that approach. Sometimes, our projects would be successful, sometimes not.  Sure, I would look for the reasons for success or failure, but usually I was always looking at the wrong place. Maybe the team makes the difference? Perhaps it was my knowledge of the subject matter that defined victory?

It took me some time, but I came up with my answer. Some activities need to be completed before the project commences, at least on a basic level. Otherwise, project success is just pure luck.

This course is all about those things you need to do before your project is formed to ensure that you create the benefits your project is intended to generate!

The course is made up of 6 sections:

What problem are you solving or opportunity you want to generate? If you can't answer this, how do you know that you reached it?

Where are you starting from, and what should you have at the end? This is the transformation you are working towards; the basis of all projects

Who will be affected by your project, either positively or negatively? All parts are key, but this is the element I see neglected the most.

What needs have to be fulfilled? At least on a high level, you have to have a basic idea of what people are looking for.

How many solutions are there to create the opportunity or solve the problem? There are always at least two. Find out why I say this.

What is the best solution? Here, we are talking about the solution that brings the most value.

I know what you are thinking. You don't have the time to go through all these steps. The fact is that you don't have the time NOT to perform these activities. This course will show you how you conduct these exercises quickly and efficiently.

So, if you are looking to find out how you can run your projects better, this course is exactly right for you.

Don't wait. Let's get started!

The course is very comprehensive to many important parts that business analysis covers. Great explanations and examples. Short videos and clear concepts.

The course is grad but the number of topics covered is very intense, maybe a little more focus on specific fields would do (but then i understand business analysis is a very wholistic subject)

I've learned about the status of my own skills, what I should improve as a BA, and what I should pay more attention to. If any of the chapters will be offered in a more elaborate/detailed fahsion, for example as part of other more advanced courses, I'd be very excited to purchase them too. I love Michael and his easy lecturing style! Cheers S.
