Course Description

This immersive and comprehensive course takes you on a detailed journey from the essentials of business analysis to full competency as a Salesforce business analyst. It is structured into modular segments that gradually build your skills and confidence: starting with the business and analyst role context, then moving through requirement elicitation, solution design, documentation, collaboration with technical teams, deployment, user acceptance testing and performance tracking. Each module is enriched with real-world case studies of Salesforce implementations, interactive workshops, hands-on platform exercises in a Salesforce org, and templates that you can take away and apply in your projects.

You will begin by exploring why modern organisations invest heavily in Salesforce, how the role of a business analyst is evolving, and the value delivered when the analyst is fluent in platform possibilities, business outcomes and stakeholder dynamics. We will then guide you through the process of stakeholder discovery — how to design and run workshops, map business goals, document pain points, identify improvement opportunities and prioritise requirements in the context of Salesforce projects.

On the technical collaboration side you will gain experience in how to work effectively with Salesforce administrators, architects and developers. You’ll learn how to translate requirements into solution design conversations, how to validate feasibility, how to draft test scenarios and how to help ensure the solution is buildable, scalable and maintainable. We’ll also cover how to think about data migration, security models, user profiles, sharing settings, automation (such as Flow), reports and dashboards, and integration touch-points with external systems.

Testing and deployment also feature prominently: you will define a user acceptance testing (UAT) strategy, create test scripts, facilitate UAT sessions, log defects, coordinate fixes and capture feedback. You’ll learn how to help prepare training materials, support user onboarding and monitor adoption. A special focus is placed on post-go-live value measurement: how to define and track KPIs, build dashboards to monitor performance, conduct reviews and ensure continuous improvement after deployment.

Throughout the course you will work through a capstone case study that simulates a Salesforce implementation from discovery through go-live and beyond. This helps you synthesise your learning and build a portfolio artefact you can show prospective employers or clients. By the end of the course you will not only understand business-analysis theory but will be equipped to apply it meaningfully in the Salesforce world.

This course is especially valuable if you aim to achieve the Salesforce Certified Business Analyst credential or hold a position where you are required to partner with Salesforce teams, but it is also broadly relevant for business analysts, CRM analysts, solution consultants, project managers, product owners or anyone involved in requirements-to-deployment work in a Salesforce context.

Teaching Methodology

The Certified Salesforce Business Analyst – Mastery Program employs a blended and immersive teaching methodology designed to balance conceptual understanding with hands-on, experience-based learning. The approach emphasises learning through context, application, and reflection.

Each module begins with conceptual lessons that explain key theories, principles, and frameworks. These lessons are accompanied by visual aids, reference diagrams, and guided reading materials. Following the conceptual stage, learners engage in real-world case studies inspired by actual Salesforce projects across industries such as finance, retail, healthcare, and technology. These cases provide an authentic context to apply analytical techniques and demonstrate how theoretical principles translate into practice.

Practical, hands-on exercises form a core component of the methodology. Participants are encouraged to work within Salesforce Developer Editions or Trailhead Playgrounds to simulate business scenarios. Exercises include configuring standard objects, creating reports, designing dashboards, and modelling workflows. This hands-on exposure ensures learners not only understand business analysis concepts but also gain familiarity with how they operate within the Salesforce interface.

Collaborative learning is another pillar of the teaching approach. Group discussions, peer feedback sessions, and simulated stakeholder workshops help participants refine their communication and negotiation skills. Through these interactions, learners experience the dynamic, interpersonal side of business analysis—facilitating discovery sessions, resolving conflicts, and influencing decision-making.

Additionally, reflective learning exercises encourage participants to document insights, challenges, and lessons after each module. This reflective process strengthens understanding and helps students connect course material with their real-world experiences. The methodology concludes each module with quizzes, self-assessments, and practical assignments to reinforce knowledge retention and readiness for professional application.
