Business Analysis Certificate
Business analysis is about building outstanding products that delight and satisfy customers and stakeholders. People in this pivotal role cultivate skills across a wide range of domains, holding such titles as business analyst, product owner, solution architect, systems analyst, process manager, business consultant, product manager or project manager.
