The Business Analyst (BA) role has become essential in today’s workplace as a vital component of a successful project.

The business analysis field has been accelerating at a rapid pace, and the growth spurt has caused some understandable “growing pains.” Among the challenges are a lack of standardization, inconsistent terminology across organizations, and difficulty in assessing knowledge and skills of BAs inside and outside the organization.

The international Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) was founded as a non-profit organization to promote the growth and professionalism of business analysis. Part of IIBA®’s mission is to document and maintain standards for business analysis, and to recognize and certify practitioners. The CBAP® (Certified Business Analysis Professional) certification program is in place to screen, test, and certify qualified and knowledgeable BAs.

This presentation summarizes the CBAP® and CCBA® programs, and why Business Analysts should become certified. It also touches on the steps you should follow to become certified. You’ll leave understanding why becoming a CBAP® or CCBA® is important, and with a realistic action plan to help you become certified.
