Class Description:
Improving business processes has become a key business strategy: always driving toward faster, cheaper, more reliable processes. A key role in these improvement efforts is that of the Business Analyst: the person who bridges the gap of understanding between the business needs and the technologists (designers and programmers) - - IDSc 3202 emphasizes the science and the art of converting ambiguous and contradictory business concepts into business process models. These models must, of course, be correct, but also precise enough to be implemented. - - Over the semester, we study critical business analyst skills: evaluating current processes, recommending strategic solutions, working with business stakeholders to clarify & document requirements, developing process and data models, and planning for the human side of change. - -- The class covers critical skills for those with career goals in any process-oriented role in today's enterprises, including business analyst, supply chain manager, operations manager, finance manager, MIS manager, project manager. - - The course includes hands-on experience with process modeling (Microsoft Visio), project management (Microsoft Project), and data base (Microsoft Access) tools.
