How do you figure out what to do on your project - quickly?
You’re on a project – so it’s expected you know what to do
And you scratch around seeing how others do things.
Or ask someone who's busy to check your work.
Or worse still - go onto the internet and try and find out what you need to do.
You're an integral part of a project, and yet have been offered no training or guidance on how to play the part that's expected of you.
And the expectations are high, because time is tight on projects
And yet, managers ask you to quickly put together a presentation, a user training plan or to do some analysis as though you've been doing it for years.
Expecting something quickly and of high quality without the proper help you need is just plain wrong.
All that will harm your professional development
So of course, the result for you is going to be a lack of confidence in your own work, and a lost opportunity to learn while growing. And that's tiring.
Projects are a precious opportunity for an accelerated learning and growth experience. But with all this going on, it can be wasted and turn into a lost opportunity.
Introducing the Project Business Analyst Crash Course
Because projects don’t afford the time you need to grow into the role expected of you, we’ll step in and give you that time.
But it’s not just about time, it’s about getting the most out of your project learning experience with support every step of the way – and at the end you’ll have the profile of a business analyst, with all the experience, techniques and tools to tell the story to your next employer.
What you will learn:
Learn the essential aspects of your role: In projects you get a lot thrown at you, and it’s important to know where to draw the line and how to perform.
No more stabs in the dark: The time wasted figuring out how to put a deliverable together increases the stress, especially with the workload of the day job and the project. You can stop wasting this time and know exactly what you need to do, how and when.
Learn to quickly deliver quality: As projects often have templates which offer little guidance and keep you guessing, you’ll no longer have to depend on this as you will be working with world class templates which guide you through how to put them together – faster. You’ll be able to deliver at pace with fewer mistakes.
Project document writing: The language and style of writing in project documents is not familiar to the uninitiated. And if you’re not a fan of writing documentation it can be doubly painful to have to put them together. You will learn simple effective structures for documenting project artefacts that will create impact and value for your audience. This will also raise the quality of your overall business writing.
Create a business analyst profile: Everything you learn on the project is what’s needed for a business analyst role. So whether you’re deeply involved in requirements, or assisting around the periphery of the project, everything you learn will be cemented so you build tremendous clarity and confidence. Which means you’ll have the choice to keep doing your day job or secure a well paid business analyst role.
But what if you are so busy juggling everything you don’t have time to stop and learn?
We all know that much time is wasted through frantic research, fretting, focusing on the wrong things, suffering mental blocks and rework.
It’s possible you might be able to pick things up as you’re thrown in the deep end of the project, but it’s hard to run a marathon without training – and that’s where time is wasted.
You’ll go through different stages in your project and there is always time to do some learning and then implement what you’ve learned as you go.
In reality, you’ll get more time back by getting it right through expert guidance so you don’t waste time on all this. And not only that, at the end you’ll have a memorable BA profile ready for your next assignment. So if you don’t want to go back to your day job, you can choose not to.
Here’s the outline of what you’ll learn in the course
Session 1: Project Overview
The project lifecycle and plan
Critical artefacts required at each stage
The interdependency of project deliverables
The different types of requirements
Defining your role: Setting expectations
Your relationship with the Business Analyst – A beautiful partnership
