BAE7: Business Analysis in an Agile Environment

How does Business Analysis fit with Agile software development?  And how can Agile software development be improved through a disciplined approach to Business Analysis?

This course addresses business concerns like setting business objectives and scope modeling before starting to develop software. Once the software development begins, the iterative work of managing the product backlog and elaborating user stories using lightweight models to elicit, analyze and communicate requirements, and to iteratively validate the resulting product is the focus. Agile is an incremental, iterative framework for project management and software development in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.

This course (BAE7) is the last of seven courses in the Business Analysis Essentials Certificate program. In order to achieve your Algonquin College certificate, you must complete all seven courses within five years.
