Overview

AgileBA Foundation & Practitioner 

AgileBA v3 is the latest version of the Agile Business Analysis certification, redesigned to help professionals develop the business analysis competencies needed to identify opportunities, make better decisions and deliver value in today’s Agile and AI-enabled organisations. Based on the AgileBA Reference Book published by the Agile Business Consortium (ABC), AgileBA v3 provides practical, real-world guidance for applying business analysis competencies in Agile and value-driven environments.

Delivered over four days, with two days of Foundation training followed by two days of Practitioner training, AgileBA v3 offers a complete learning journey that takes participants from understanding core concepts through to confidently applying advanced business analysis techniques in Agile environments.

In a world where organisations are expected to deliver change faster than ever, success is no longer measured by simply completing projects or launching products. The real challenge is ensuring those initiatives create meaningful value for customers, stakeholders and the organisation.  AgileBA helps professionals answer that challenge. It provides the skills to bridge the gap between strategy and delivery, ensuring organisations focus on achieving outcomes rather than just producing outputs. Participants learn how to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions, facilitate collaboration and make evidence-based decisions that drive measurable business value.

Combining business analysis, business agility, product thinking, value delivery, strategic alignment, human-centred decision making and AI-enabled ways of working, AgileBA v3 prepares professionals to thrive in complex and rapidly changing environments.

Developed in partnership with the Agile Business Consortium (ABC), AgileBA delivers internationally recognised Foundation and Practitioner certifications that empower individuals, strengthen teams and help organisations achieve better business outcomes through more effective and value-focused change.

Learning Outcomes

Foundation

The Foundation qualification is designed to assess a candidate’s foundational knowledge of AgileBA principles and the core competencies required to iteratively discover, define, and test value in an agile delivery environment.

Upon completion, a candidate will be able to demonstrate:

  • Understand how to discover user needs and connect them or organisational goals
  • Explore the wider problem context using different perspectives before defining details
  • Break down broad requirements into manageable, iterative increments
  • Collaborate early with diverse roles to build quality and ensure testability
  • Apply Continuous feedback loops to improve value delivery over time
  • Describe workshop facilitation, modelling, user stories, behaviour driven development and reflective learning

Practitioner

The Practitioner qualification is to build upon foundational knowledge by developing advanced capabilities in aligning strategy with complex value streams, interpreting systemic complexity, modelling sophisticated change and validating outcomes empirically, including the critical and responsible use of AI in complex change environments.

Upon completion, a candidate will be able to use the AgileBA concepts to:

  • Align change initiatives across strategy and organisational value flow
  • Interpret systemic complexity and challenge cognitive biases and assumptions
  • Decompose and model complex changes across organisation, process, and technical dimensions
  • Engineer quality collaboratively at greater depth using advanced validation techniques
