Product Description
Product Description
Business analysis is the set of tasks and techniques used to work as a liaison among stakeholders in order to understand the structure, policies, and operations of an organization, and to recommend solutions that enable the organization to achieve its goals. Business analysis involves understanding how organizations function to accomplish their purposes and defining the capabilities an organization requires to provide products and services to external stakeholders. It includes the definition of organizational goals, understanding how those goals connect to specific objectives, determining the courses of action that an organization has to undertake to achieve those goals and objectives, and defining how the various organizational units and stakeholders within and outside of that organization interact. A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK® Guide) contains a description of generally accepted practices in the field of business analysis. The content included in this release has been verified through reviews by practitioners, surveys of the business analysis community, and consultations with recognized experts in the field. In less than five years, the BABOK® Guide has been recognized around the world as a key tool for the practice of business analysis and become a widely-accepted standard for the profession, with over 200,000 copies downloaded from the IIBA® website. Version 2.0 represents a major advance on that standard, and will become an essential reference for business analysis professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I quite liked this guide,
By Faisal (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (Babok Guide) (Paperback)
Some might say it is dry, but on the 3rd reading, I found it to be concise and to the point. I was using this for my CBAP exam preparation, and really, this is the one most important book for that purpose. Three to four readings are essential to fully grasping the material. One the first reading, the material did seem dense and unmanageable but that changed with the 2nd and 3rd readings. This, and future additions, will be useful references for any business analyst in the field.

An excellent run down of business analysis tasks, skills, and techniques for those working on projects,
By David Morrs - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (Babok Guide) (Paperback)
The Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge covers the whole breadth of business analysis from project start-up to post-implementation reviews. I think it's great for everyone, whether at entry level or experienced senior level.It splits the discipline into six key knowledge areas: * Business analysis planning and monitoring * Elicitation * Requirements management and communication * Enterprise analysis * Requirements analysis * Solution assessment and validation What's especially good is that it puts such a strong focus on planning and managing what we have to do, as well as going through the basics of eliciting, documenting and analysing, communicating, assessing, and validating. Alongside these 6 knowledge areas, it also has a whole section on underlying compentencies (the 'soft' skills we need as business analysts), and another detailing 34 techniques we typically use. For those that have already seen/used version 1.6, there are some key differences. The layout, tone, and diagrams are more consistent; the techniques are in their own separate section (rather than spread through the knowledge areas); the tasks that encroached slightly on the project/line management disciplines have been removed; and the enterprise analysis knowledge area has become more focused on what I would call 'problem analysis'. A great reference that I keep on my desk all the time -- and I'm really looking forward to the next publication which will focus more fully on the Strategic aspects of what was covered under enterprise analysis in version 1.6. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Great reference book for experienced Business Analysts,

This review is from: A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (Babok Guide) (Paperback)
Having worked as a Business Analyst for the past 15 years, I found this book to be a great reference book for experienced Business Analysts. It is well written, clearly organised. I use it as a reference when I run out of BA ideas on projects which lack structure. It always shows me a way forward. There is nothing new or ground breaking in it but it is a nice resource to have at hand. Very comprehensive for the waterfall model. It is missing the agile approach but I think that will come later.

Expensive, but good,

This review is from: A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (Babok Guide) (Paperback)
Great reference. It's more of a reference than a tutorial or guide. Really expensive, but cheaper than the IIBA membership!
