PMI-PBA Certification
Business Analysis Body of Knowledge Version 2.0 consists of nine chapters. I would
group them into two categories. One is foundation chapters and the other is
knowledge areas. The knowledge areas are Business Analysis Planning & Monitoring,
Elicitation, Enterprise Analysis, Requirements Analysis, Requirements Management
& Communication and Solution Assessment & Validation. By mastering these nine
chapters one can claim that he or she has a thorough understanding of business
analysis framework and can effectively perform the business analysis role to a
perfection. Till 2009, academic credential or certification was not a necessary one to
become a successful business analyst. But subsequently with the popularity of CCBA
and CBAP certifications, the depth of knowledge and value exhibited by those
certified, companies started looking for candidates with these certifications.
Why to go for Certification?
1. Certification gives a framework of knowledge to the business analyst and adds an
academic credential that provides immense confidence while performing business
analysis.
2. Certification demonstrates that the individual has undergone a rigorous
assessment and acts as a benchmark in recruitment and client relationship.
3. It connects the certified to a worldwide community to keep abreast with the latest
trends in the profession.
