Preparation to the CCBA certification

Learn in Detail About the Role and Mission of a Business Analyst

The BABoK® Guide v3 (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) is the most globally recognized framework for business analysis. It covers all the tasks a business analyst needs to know; these 30 tasks are grouped into 6 knowledge areas (Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring, Elicitation and Collaboration, Requirements Life Cycle Management, Strategy Analysis, Requirements Analysis and Design Definition, and Solution Evaluation).

The role of the business analyst has been significantly expanded with version 3 of the BABoK® Guide. He/she is the facilitator of all changes within a company, whether in the form of a project or continuous improvement, and must understand the current state, define the desired future state, and determine the activities required to achieve this future state.

We are preparing you for the CCBA certification for the role of Business Analyst.

During this course, theoretical coverage will be accompanied by a series of questions and practical exercises to adequately prepare you to earn your certification. Please note that additional intensive self-study will be required after the course to assimilate all the points covered by the exam, as the volume of information is quite substantial (including more than 50 shared techniques).

Additional information

Optimize Your Business Analysis Skills with the CBAP® Certification

The CBAP (Certified Business Analysis Professional) certification is a globally recognized credential offered by the IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis) for business analysis professionals. Obtaining this certification signifies not only a deep mastery of the BABoK® Guide (Business Analysis Body of Knowledge) but also the ability to apply best practices in business analysis across various contexts. This training is essential for those looking to advance their careers and excel in the field.

What is Business Analysis and Why is it Crucial?

Business analysis is a key discipline that involves identifying business needs and proposing solutions that add value. The role of a business analyst is therefore central: they must understand stakeholder requirements, model processes, and ensure that proposed solutions are aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives. The CBAP certification allows professionals to gain advanced expertise in these areas and stand out in the job market.

Understanding the Business Analysis Core Concept Model™ (BACCM)

The Business Analysis Core Concept Model™ (BACCM) is one of the key concepts of the BABoK® Guide. It provides a framework for understanding the main elements of business analysis: value, context, stakeholders, requirements, solutions, and change. By mastering the BACCM, CBAP certification candidates can better understand the complexity of projects and effectively manage stakeholder expectations.

Planning and Monitoring: An Essential Skill for Certified Analysts

Another fundamental skill for certified business analysis professionals is the ability to plan and monitor analysis activities. This includes defining a governance approach, managing information, and identifying opportunities for improvement. The CBAP training prepares you for these responsibilities by providing the tools needed to coordinate team efforts and ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.

Elicitation and Collaboration: Keys to Success in Business Analysis

Requirements gathering starts with effective elicitation. This means collecting relevant information from stakeholders and confirming that this information is complete and accurate. Ongoing collaboration is also essential to ensure all involved parties are working towards a common goal. Through CBAP training, you will learn to master these skills, which are crucial for the success of business analysis projects.

Requirements Life Cycle Management: Maintaining Strategic Alignment

Requirements are at the core of any business analysis project. Managing them throughout their life cycle, from identification to approval, is crucial to ensuring alignment with the company’s strategic objectives. The CBAP certification teaches you how to effectively trace, prioritize, and assess requirements, as well as how to manage changes to ensure all stakeholders remain aligned.

Strategic Analysis and Solution Definition

One of the most strategic aspects of business analysis is assessing business needs against future objectives. The skills taught as part of the CBAP certification enable you to conduct in-depth analyses of the company’s current state, define the desired future state, and propose a change strategy aligned with the organization’s objectives. You will also be trained in risk assessment and in recommending solutions that offer maximum value.

Solution Evaluation: Measuring Performance and Maximizing Value

Evaluating the performance of implemented solutions is another crucial skill for a business analyst. Through CBAP training, you will learn how to measure solution performance, analyze results, and recommend actions to improve the added value of these solutions. This skill is particularly useful in environments where requirements evolve rapidly and agility is essential.

Underlying Competencies and Advanced Techniques for Business Analysts

In addition to technical skills, the CBAP certification also emphasizes the development of underlying competencies such as communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Moreover, it covers 50 specific techniques related to business analysis, ranging from process modeling to brainstorming techniques, which are crucial for success in different professional contexts.

Which Certification for a Business Analyst?

For those wondering which certification to choose for a business analyst, the CBAP certification is particularly recommended for professionals with several years of experience who seek to validate their advanced expertise. It is suitable for those who want to demonstrate their ability to manage complex analysis projects and add real value to their organizations.
