Predictive analytics is used to make predictions about future business activities. In this course, students learn about and apply the principles, tools, and techniques of predictive analytics using Excel and popular data analytics software. QSO-570 requires MBA-501 or MBA-504, plus QSO-511, as prerequisites — confirming its position as the natural continuation of QSO-511's foundational business analytics coverage.
A genuine continuation from foundational to predictive analytics
QSO-570's confirmed QSO-511 prerequisite reflects a genuine, deliberate progression from foundational business analytics literacy toward the more advanced skill of building forward-looking predictive models.
Articulating data-driven narratives as a genuine deliverable
The course explicitly builds the competency of articulating data-driven narratives, treating clear communication of predictive findings as inseparable from the technical modeling work itself.
Key topics in QSO570
- Predictive analytics principles and tools

Frequently asked questions
Building genuine predictive models — forecasting future business outcomes based on data patterns — requires students to already understand foundational business analytics concepts and how to interpret analytic results, which QSO-511 establishes, before adding the more advanced skill of building forward-looking predictive models on top of that foundation. QSO-570's prerequisite reflects this deliberate skill progression from foundational analytics literacy to advanced predictive competency.
A technically sound predictive model has limited real business value if its insights can't be clearly communicated to decision-makers who need to act on those predictions, meaning the ability to articulate what a predictive model actually reveals in accessible business language is a genuinely essential complementary skill to the technical modeling work itself. QSO-570 builds this narrative competency because predictive analytics achieves its real purpose only when its findings are genuinely communicated effectively, not left as technical output.
