1. Business Analyst Courses
Business Analyst is our new corporate colleague
who is helpingorganizations in three unique ways that no one else
is capable of doing. She is (1) helping organizations to visualize a
to-be-solution without actually building the solution (2) achieving
that objective at a minimal cost and (3) providing a road-map to
the project manager. Information technology is the first industry
that introduced business analysis position at a large scale to
bridge the gap between the business owners and the developers in
multi-million dollar projects. But subsequently, after witnessing
the contribution of business analysts, other industries followed
suit. Today business analysts are very common in industries such
as Banking, Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Hospitality,
Automotive, Aviation, Supply Chain, Retail etc.

2. Till today, there are no graduate or post-graduate
business analysis programs offered in universities (except a few in
North-America). On the other hand, companies in various
industries have a huge demand for trained business analysts. In
the absence of trained manpower, the best bet for these companies
is to go for candidates who have decent business knowledge with
analytical and communication skills.
Though the academic system is not very
responsive to this industry need, few not-for-profit associations
came up to provide a structure to this emerging profession. The
pioneeramongthem is International Instituteof Business Analysis
(IIBA), Canada established in the year 2003. IIBA through its
Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) first gave a
framework to this profession. It conducts examinations such as
CCBA and CBAP to certify professionals in business analysis.
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
foundation chapters are Introduction, Underlying Competencies
and Techniques. 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.

3. 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. This trend is increasingyear-after-yearas we started
seeing more and more companies are asking for CBAP
certifications in their job descriptions.
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 communityto keep abreast
with the latest trends in the profession.
