Microsoft Business Analyst

Overview

Microsoft's Business Analyst Professional Certificate is a beginner-level program that has drawn 103,953 learners on Coursera, making it one of the more popular business-analysis credentials in this collection.

Who it's for

Anyone moving into a business analyst role — translating business needs into requirements and working across stakeholders — especially those who'll be operating inside Microsoft's ecosystem day to day.

What you'll build

• Core business analysis and requirements-gathering skills
• Stakeholder management, stakeholder analysis, and stakeholder engagement
• Problem management and risk management fundamentals
• Hands-on exposure to the Microsoft Power Platform alongside project management basics

The Power Platform component is what differentiates this from a purely theoretical business-analysis course it ties the analytical skill set to tools business analysts are actually asked to use inside Microsoft-centric organizations.
