Plan, Manage, and Communicate Requirements

BAV314: Plan, Manage, and Communicate Requirements examines the role of the business analyst in the Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring and Requirements Life Cycle Management knowledge areas within the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK^® Guide). Practical tasks and techniques are presented to equip the business analyst with the skills and knowledge required to conduct business analysis planning and requirements management activities.

The virtual course also includes topics on business analysis communication from the Elicitation and Collaboration knowledge area. The material in the course is directed at both the novice looking to enter the field and the self-taught veteran looking to fill gaps in his or her skills or knowledge.

BAV314 explores business analysis planning and management processes in depth. In the recommended sequence, BA314 is the fourth and final course in the Certificate Program — building on techniques introduced in the other three courses.

In BA314, participants learn to identify stakeholder needs, determine requirements risks and deliverables, manage scope and the requirements baseline via traceability and change control, assess communication needs, perform requirements reviews, and plan business analysis project activities in collaboration with the project manager and other key project stakeholders.
