3 MONTH INTERNSHIP PROJECT TASKS

TASK 1 – BUSINESS CASE DEVELOPMENT

No programme of work can be completed without funding! A business analyst is often brought early on in a project in to assist a project manager with drafting a business case. You will work hand-in-hand with your project manager and other business analysts to draft the expected business benefits of the programme to be completed within the 3 month period. Your PM will guide you in the dos and don’ts in business case development to ensure sign-off from the programme sponsor.

TASK 2 – AS-IS ANALYSIS 

One of the major strengths of a business analyst is to simplify complex processes/systems for the benefit of senior stakeholders. During this task you will be asked to simplify a complex system using a technique known as case modelling. This will provide a comprehensive picture of how the company works today (AS-IS), from which you can benchmark future improvements.  

TASK 3 – TARGET OPERATING MODEL

Creating a target operating model and telling a company how it will work in the future is often seen as the area where a business analyst “makes their money”. During your career as a business analyst, it is unlikely that you’ll work on a project for a significant period of time without creating a target operating model. During your 3 month internship, we will show you how to use Draw.IO to produce a professional Target Operating Model.

TASK 4 – BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS/ USER STORIES 

Business requirements/user stories are short simple descriptions of a feature from a person that desires a new capability (usually a user or customer of a system). After creating the target operating model for the programme, it’s time to draft the detailed user stories which will show exactly how a system will operate in real life. During the programme our project managers will walk you through the user story template, showing your exactly how to capture detailed requirements.

TASK 5 – DESIGNING THE SOLUTION

Towards the end of a project, you will be asked to create a mocked up design of the requirements you created in task 4 using an innovative web tool. Business users constantly want to see their requirements come to life. Gaining the experience to produce a mocked up solution will prove invaluable as you progress through your career as a business analyst.

TASK 6 – USER ACCEPTED TESTING/ BENEFITS REALISATION

Lastly, before any project comes to a close you will need to complete testing and a benefits realisation document. User accepted testing ensures that your product is functional before it is deployed and a benefits realisation document allows a senior stakeholder to analyse what benefits were borne from the programme. This completes the full project life cycle and will give you invaluable experience as a business analyst.

We work with over 2000 recruiters and employers across the UK. We will show you how to approach the database and how to get the interviews booked in.

We have crafted a template which has gone through all the testing and we have now managed to get the formula down to a science.
