This course focuses on practical techniques for acquiring the knowledge from your business community. The focus is on how to get quality functional requirements that will lead to the design of business intelligence solutions that positively impact and optimize business performance. In addition to learning the disciplines and mechanics for effective information gathering, we will use a mock-up use-case to apply those techniques through a series of in-class, hands-on interactive workshops.

When you leave this class you will understand the techniques and have access to the templates we used. You’ll be prepared to significantly improve the quality of the business functional requirements and increase the return on investment for your next business intelligence project.
