This business game will help students learn to put some useful business analysis techniques described in BABOK 3.0 into practice. During the game, these techniques will be applied to a real-life business case.
To be determined
BABOK Guide v.3.0 provides descriptions of 50 techniques that can be useful in business analysis activities. But which technique has to be used in a particular situation? What is a sequence of using these techniques, and even more general – what is a sequence of activities a business analyst should do to help a customer improve their business?
The major challenge with self-studying the BABOK Guide is that, while describing typical tasks of business analysis, it does not explain when and how one should perform these tasks. It assumes that business analysts shall be able to answer these questions on their own, based on their personal experience and specifics of a particular project. Besides that, the BABOK Guide provides very few examples that might help analysts relate the theoretical knowledge to their daily practice. The purpose of this business game is to overcome that challenge.
This game simulates the process of analyzing a current business situation and elaborating proposals to improve it. During the game, students will solve the following tasks:
This business game will help students get some hands-on experience by applying the following business analysis techniques:
In addition, this business game provides participants with 8 professional development hours (PD hours) for further IIBA certification.
The primary objective of the business game is to help students acquire the skills of business architecture analysis using some popular techniques described in BABOK 3.0.
