This PR updates the Business Analysis curriculum to introduce AI-assisted activities across Sprints 1, 2 and 3

This PR includes my updates to Sprints 2 and 3, plus Sprint 1 changes I prepared based on @Drizzydre19 Demi’s review and feedback

Changes include:

  1. adding AI-supported exercises for stakeholder mapping, user research, stakeholder communication, SWOT analysis, presentations, vision and goals, personas, user stories, business
  2. adding AI-related learning objectives where relevant
  3. using AI in different roles: reviewer, challenger, formatter, critic, role-play partner, and first-draft generator where appropriate
  4. updating IREB RE@Agile references to the current 2.2 section numbering
  5. introducing INVEST and acceptance criteria alongside user stories in Sprint 2
  6. removing the separate Acceptance Criteria block from Sprint 3 prep
  7. adding AI review of user stories and acceptance criteria against INVEST
  8. adding AI support for glossary drafting and conceptual data model review in the Business Domains section
  9. fixing the Business Requirements section title in Sprint 1
  10. fixing inconsistent BrightStar naming across Sprint 1

Testing:

  1. Ran the curriculum locally with Hugo
  2. Checked Sprint 1, Sprint 2, and Sprint 3 prep pages
  3. Verified that the updated content renders correctly
  4. Verified that the IREB links are clickable

"Use AI to support and review business domain artefacts"
"Use AI to support and review business domain artefacts. For example, you can ask it to act as a Business Analyst Lead for a specific company and ask you questions about this work. Make sure the prompt is clear and specific, so you get feedback only on these entities and artefacts"


Use AI to support your business domain analysis. Ask AI to:
1. Generate a first-draft glossary for the BrightStar retail, loyalty, and CRM domain. Critically review and edit the glossary: remove irrelevant terms, correct definitions, and add important terms that AI missed.
2. Review your conceptual data model using Customer, Transaction, LoyaltyCard, Product, and any other relevant entities. Ask AI to challenge the entities and relationships and explain any concepts or relationships that are unclear. No newline at end of file
