Business Analysis in Agile Projects Training Course (AgileBA)
1Summary
Move a business analyst from a waterfall project straight onto a Scrum team, and most of what they know about eliciting and documenting requirements stops working — backlogs replace specifications, and priorities shift every sprint. The Business Analysis in Agile Projects Training Course (AgileBA) from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy exists to close exactly that gap, rebuilding the analyst's toolkit around Agile values, iteration, and continuous stakeholder engagement.
Attendees work through the AgileBA lifecycle and see how it fits alongside frameworks such as Scrum and DSDM, then move into the analyst's day-to-day craft: writing and managing user stories, running backlog prioritisation with tools like MoSCoW, and applying business and process modelling to map value streams and customer journeys. Facilitation, stakeholder engagement, and clear communication run through every part of the course, since Agile analysis lives or dies on collaboration. By the end, participants are ready to define business needs against Agile goals, support incremental delivery and continuous improvement, and sit the AgileBA certification exam with confidence, equipped to operate effectively in any cross-functional Agile team.
