This Sunday will be the first session of the training program. I look forward to seeing you there. Inform me if you cannot make it. There are several people on the wait list and I would like to give them the opportunity to join.
Here are a couple of resources for you to take advantage of before you join. The reading is not mandatory but will help you ease into the mindset of Business Analysis.
Cast Study for the Class:
Bob owns a brick and mortar Vegan Restaurant.
In 2020 COVID impacted his business. He quickly realized that he needs to move his business online.
Bob consults with his Operations Manager Steve, his Financial Manager Eric and his Staff about the goals and objectives for the next few months. They want to stop the bleeding, i.e. loss of customers that would typically walk through the doors.
By moving the store online they will not only stop the bleeding but they anticipate an increase in revenue by 20 % and reduction in costs by 15%.
As part of the move online, they want the ability to allow a customer to select from the menu, place their order and pay for the order online.
They want the customers to have the option for home delivery through doordash within a certain radius or pick up from the restaurant.
They hire Dave who is a Project Manager and has an offshore team of Business Analysts, developers, and testers.
You are one of the offshore Business Analysts and have been approached to gather the requirements as the Business Analyst for this project.
They want this developed and tested in 3 months.
