Synopsis: 

The Business Analysis profession is growing rapidly. This makes it more and more likely there will be business analysts on our IT, Quality, and Process Improvement projects.

 

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) is the professional organization for Business Analysts (BAs) modeled after PMI. In 2009 the IIBA published A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide)Version 2.0. The BABOK describes the BA's responsibilities for managing scope, stakeholders, and risk—responsibilities we associate with the project manager.

 

  • Does the BABOK then contradict the PMBOK?
  • Will this create more conflict for managing our projects?
  • Or can it make our projects easier and more successful?
  • What are the BABOK implications for project portfolio management?
  • Why are many PMPs obtaining their business analysis certifications?

 This presentation attempts to answer these questions and to reconcile the PMI and IIBA bodies of knowledge.
