Organizations today operate in a complicated, complex, rapidly changing globally competitive business environment. To keep pace, business processes continually adapt and change – formally and often informally, ad-hoc and slowly. The result is that many business processes are a tangled web of inefficient work activities, ambiguous policies and legacy procedures that consume resources and impede performance. These same processes, unfortunately, often provide the source for business systems requirements - requirements that reflect legacy business rules that constrain, rather than improve, business processes.
The Business Process Analysis (BPA) training course provides analysts with the best practice techniques and methods to coherently map, accurately measure and thoroughly analyze business processes and work activities across the organization. This deep level of engagement provides the foundation for identifying improvements and developing effective, efficient, agile forward-facing business processes and supporting systems.
