Modernizing Business Analysis

Reframing analysis roles for the AI era!

Everyone's role is changing, especially in software and projects. AI is collapsing roles and changing tasks and work we do; we need to rethink how we add value!

The AI-SDLC is changing traditional requirements processes and work - This class digs into the various approaches to requirements work as AI changes the SDLC.

AI solutions also introduce ambiguity, probabilistic behavior, and continuous decision-making into systems designed for certainty. This also changes requirements work as we work on these solutions.

What is the Business Analysis needed when AI changes how work gets done, and what analysis is needed for AI projects and AI Agents?

Analysis roles (Business Analysts, Business Systems Analysts, Product Owners, Process Analysts, Operations Analysts, and Project Managers & Scrum Masters who do requirements/analysis work) need a reimagined role mindset in our AI-driven world.

This course focuses the drivers behind why the role is shifting so much right now!

This course is designed to reshape how you think about your role before you learn execution mechanics.

What you’ll learn

Understand why AI raises the bar for analysis roles, define role value in an AI context, and describe your role and value to others.

Understand why & how traditional requirements and analysis tasks are disappearing into AI-automated processes.
Understand the analysis value shifting LEFT and RIGHT, and the traditional middle is being automated.
Spot early warning signs of analysis role erosion in AI initiatives before gaps in ownership and risk escalate.

Redefine the analysis needed around integration, decision boundaries, and accountability instead of documentation.

How AI breaks phase-based SDLC thinking and traditional requirements mindsets

Explain why AI increases demand for analysis by introducing ambiguity, probabilistic outcomes, and new governance risks.
