About this course
ARE YOU LOOKING TO EXPAND YOUR SKILLS IN USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TO TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS ANALYSIS AND BECOME A LEADER IN LEVERAGING EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES?
The future of business analysis lies at the intersection of human creativity and technological leverage. Our AI for Business Analysis course is an immersive and interactive journey to prepare experienced BA professionals for the AI-empowered future. Through real-world exercises with leading AI agents and tools, gain first-hand experience planning initiatives, analysing requirements and devising solutions. You will learn methods of “prompt engineering” for using generative AI agents to produce key BA artefacts, research new subject matters, evaluate work, and conduct interviews with subject matter experts. Whilst balancing AI’s power to create content with human judgment, you will discover AI dialogue techniques that will enable iterative and incremental analysis and development.
What you will gain
An AI for Business Analysis digital badge will be available upon successful completion of the course from Skills Development Group.
This course will contribute 14 PMI® professional development units (PDUs) towards your chosen certification (12 Ways of Working and 2 Business Acumen).
What you will learn
- Automating analytical tasks using AI assistants.
- Rapidly developing key project artefacts like charters, stories and models.
- Using natural language generators to accelerate documentation and prototyping.
