Business Analysis

A collection of tasks and techniques that enable delivery of solutions aligned with business goals and that continually generate value for the organization.

Key Points

  • Centers on understanding business needs and translating them into clear, testable requirements.
  • Engages stakeholders to elicit, analyze, validate, and prioritize requirements linked to objectives.
  • Maintains traceability from business goals to solution components and expected benefits.
  • Assesses proposed and delivered solutions to confirm value and recommend improvements.

Example

During an ERP implementation, the business analyst interviews finance and operations leaders, documents a BRD, and builds a requirements traceability matrix. They work with the project manager and technical team to validate that configurations meet prioritized requirements and support targeted benefits such as reduced cycle time and improved reporting accuracy.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
