A new and exciting trend in the industry has emerged, which is the formalization, standardization and certification process for the Business Analyst. This trend can be a very empowering tool for the CIO to drive change initiatives down to the Line-of-Business.

The historical role of the Business Analyst has varied from company to company and many times varied from department to department within a company.

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) is the new governing body for Business Analysts that is establishing common standards of knowledge within the BA profession and is committed to work with practitioners around the globe to continually add to those standards through education, research, and the sharing of effective tools and techniques.

Establishing a certification for the profession creates a common expectation by organizations of the skills and knowledge they will receive from certified business analysts.

This webinar is designed for anyone interested in learning about the Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP®).

The following topics will be covered:

  • The role of the IIBA®
  • The definition of a Business Analyst
  • The BA Body of Knowledge
  • The Application process/requirements to become a Certified BA Professional
  • Training Options to prepare for CBAP® Certification
  • Testing Requirements
  • Recommended websites and reading
