Agentic AI Skills for Business Analysts
Angela Wick
BA-Cube Founder | LinkedIn Instructor
Prioritize, Define, Design, and Govern AI Agents and Agentic Systems
Agentic AI changes the game because AI can autonomously act. It can initiate actions, make decisions, and operate across workflows with increasing autonomy.
Risk escalates, and so does opportunity!
Without deliberate, disciplined, and structured analysis, agents act on incomplete logic, unclear boundaries, and undefined escalation paths. That is where exposure multiplies. This course matters because Business Analysts are uniquely positioned to define autonomy limits, decision thresholds, guardrails, and monitoring structures before agents scale. It equips you to design control into autonomy, so AI-driven systems remain accountable, coherent, and aligned with business intent rather than becoming fragile at scale.
AI is moving beyond assistance. Agents can:
Initiate actions on their own
Make decisions
Trigger workflows
Operate continuously
This changes the role of Business Analysis.
When agents act without clearly defined:
Goals
Boundaries
Escalation rules
Monitoring thresholds
Organizations lose control.
This course teaches how to design and govern agent behavior responsibly.

Testimonials
I appreciated the feedback and hearing the experiences of others. I liked Angela's hands-on activities that let us experience the concepts and opportunities to unpack it.
Angela explained every concept with an example in layman's terms which allowed us to grasp the concept easily and relate it to our own work.
Group activities, energy from instructor, and the #1 thing was the real world examples. Great positivity from Angela, great teacher.
I liked the structure of the information, the simplicity of the information, the universal examples, and the relevance of the information
I like the group sharing experiences. I love that Angela is so good at consistently giving examples of what she's describing. That helps a lot to visualize and understand more fully.
What You'll Walk Away With
An understanding of the analysis needed for AI Agents to reduce risk and increase success
Practice using techniques to define and design AI Agents (the non-technical thinking work needed)
