Defining the wrong problem—or solving it with incomplete requirements—is one of the fastest ways to derail a project. According to PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® 2023, 66% of organizations cite poor requirements management as the top cause of project failure. Business analysts who can bridge the gap between stakeholder intent and project execution help avoid costly misalignment.
The Foundations of Business Analysis course teaches the core competencies every analyst needs to support project success. Participants learn how to identify the real business need, engage stakeholders, and manage requirements from concept through evaluation. These skills improve alignment between business goals and project outcomes—ensuring solutions deliver measurable value.
