Module 5 brings the course to a close. We discuss the elements covered in previous modules and help students understand what to expect from studying for certification in AgileBA.

AgileBA (Agile Business Analyst) is a qualification created by APMG International designed to demonstrate and explain how business analysts operate and create value within Agile projects and environments.

As a topic, AgileBA has a lot of potential value for both experienced and prospective business analysts. This is particularly evident when we consider the expanding global popularity of Agile.

It can also benefit Agile project managers who wish to develop an understanding of business analysis, as well as organizations looking to adopt the framework’s tools and best practices.

AgileBA combines the traditional role of a business analyst with the tools, best practices, and environmental factors of Agile projects. Candidates study how the two elements enhance one another, driving continuous improvement within both projects and the wider business.

A ‘business analyst’ is a versatile professional who analyzes and advises on various aspects of a typical business, including project management, communication, and data analysis. They will look through documents, processes, business models, systems, technological integration, and more, developing a keen understanding of how everything works while also consulting experts and stakeholders. This helps them to identify potential areas for improvement.

An AgileBA practitioner will be able to continuously search out and highlight opportunities to improve your business, not just for Agile projects but also in other areas such as communications and data analysis. This will help you to enhance operations across the board.
