  • Develop clear, robust requirements that support meaningful and well-defined business change.

  • Designed for business analysts who want to move beyond theoretical knowledge and apply structured analysis techniques.

  • Gain practical experience through a simulated project involving direct stakeholder interaction.


The Practical Business Analysis (Standard) Training is designed to help organisations improve the effectiveness of their business analysis activities and enable business analysts to apply their knowledge and skills in realistic working situations.

Delivered by Bilginç IT Academy, the programme takes a practical approach to developing business analysis capabilities. Its content draws on more than 20 years of experience supporting business analyst communities within leading organisations, together with established best-practice techniques.

One of the main responsibilities of a Business Analyst is to produce clear, accurate and robust requirements that reflect genuine business needs. This course helps participants understand how to work within a business strategy, analyse business areas using proven methods and identify the changes required in business processes and IT systems to address internal and external challenges.

Participants develop the skills needed to investigate business problems, identify suitable improvement opportunities and recommend creative, practical solutions. They also explore how to work with senior business representatives and IT stakeholders to analyse business activities, create process models and document requirements.

The training combines instructor-led learning, workshops and practical application. Throughout the programme, participants work in teams on a simulated business analysis project, applying the techniques introduced during the classroom sessions.

As part of the project, learners interact with project stakeholders to identify, capture and negotiate requirements. They collaborate to investigate the business problems presented and produce the necessary business analysis models, documents and other deliverables.

At the end of the course, each team formally presents its recommendations to the project sponsor. This approach gives the learning a realistic context and helps participants understand how business analysis tools and techniques can be applied in professional environments.

Note: Where soft-skills modules are not included, project activities still involve stakeholder interaction, but the exercises do not specifically focus on developing interpersonal skills.
