Building and Leading a Business Analysis Capability

As companies move towards more mature and established BA functions, the need to educate new team leaders and managers on how to establish and manage Business Analysis departments became clear and essential.  

Managing a Business Analysis team can be haunting at times. How to guarantee the quality of your team without overwhelming your schedule? How to foresee when a problem is about to happen? How to ensure a level of consistent deliverables quality regardless of the assigned analyst? How to monitor and control those analytical minds, your team members? And, more importantly, how to keep the fun component of analysis in your daily work and avoid becoming a resources allocator instead of an inspiring leader?  

This course will help you organize your thoughts, tasks, and learn how to steer the BA team to success, and build a unit of expertise that has a direct value for the organization as a whole; while keeping the interesting part of your job: Analysis.
