Elsito is introducing a course consisting of 12 modules of expert online training covering topics such as roadmap creation, process mapping, and gap analysis. The classes are aimed at junior or trainee business analysts but are also suitable for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge in this area.

The sessions are held weekly and provide a full day’s worth of training in practical business analysis skills, tools, and techniques. Classes are conducted online, starting at 9 am and finishing at 5 pm UK time. Each course concludes with an informal appraisal to enable students to monitor their progress.

A spokesperson said: “Most professional IT-related courses are very woolly and focus on values and concepts, not the hard skills required to make a real difference in the modern professional world. Our courses are based on almost two decades’ worth of professional experience and are designed to give you the most value in a packed day, rich with knowledge and experience.”

In addition to the learning content, subscribers can connect with a large network of contacts via the Elisto LinkedIn page and access post-session support from Jude Mahoney, Elisto’s co-founder and resident instructor. Additionally, subscribers will be given introductions to recruiters and like-minded professionals, helping with career path progression.

Participants are introduced to agile techniques such as backlog refinement, including defining readiness criteria, test plans, information preparation, and forecasting. Other techniques, such as behaviour-driven development, use real-life examples to understand customers’ needs and implement effective product cases.

Elisto business analysis students are also shown how to implement techniques like process mapping, which generates visual representations of business processes for detailed analysis. By identifying weaknesses and inefficiencies through visual data, analysts can make recommendations to improve workflow and cost-efficiency.

Additional topics include SOSTAC—situational analysis, objectives, strategy, tactics, actions, and control—planning, a system that encourages greater flexibility and the evolution of outreach strategies in response to market events, consumer behaviour, and competition.

The spokesperson added: “We will help you learn all about your customers and stakeholders and how to become an effective Agile Business Analyst in an agile environment. These are actual tried-and-tested methods that we have used over almost two decades. There is zero ‘academic’ filler, but all real-world techniques, ideal for the postgraduate or apprentice looking to learn what they should be doing from day one.”
