About the DBAWLS Program
Business analysis work fails most often at the planning stage, when scope, stakeholders, deliverables and approvals are left vague. This program shows analysts how to build a business analysis work plan that a sponsor will sign: defining the approach, mapping stakeholders, selecting elicitation methods, setting deliverables and agreeing governance. Participants plan a real initiative from their own backlog. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual for analysis teams.
