Solutions Evaluation and Testing

A required course in the Business Analysis certificate program.

This course focuses on the activities to validate the performance and value delivered by a solution already in use by the enterprise. These activities may include qualitative and quantitative assessments to determine the difference between expected and actual results. The resulting data is used to recommend the removal of barriers or constraints that are preventing the business from fully utilizing and obtaining the most value from the solution. Students will understand and apply the principles of solution assessment to ensure business goals and organizational objectives are met. Students will demonstrate the ability to assess business readiness, operation impacts and stakeholder requirements. Students will learn to prioritize solution options, consider individual solution components, and combine their analysis into a clear and concise output provided to the business.



The course utilizes best practices from the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide) and the Project Management Institute (PMI®) Guide to Business Analysis, the industry standards for the Business Analyst profession.
