ECBA™ / CCBA® / CBAP® Study Group - December 2018 Session
"The more things change, the more they stay the same" may be true of politics, but when it comes to requirements, change is inevitable. But how do you track these changes? How do you prioritize them? What are their impacts? Does anyone need to approve these requirement changes? Has scope started to increase?
Purpose of the Study Group
Facilitated by a CBAP-certified business analyst, the monthly study group sessions provide an opportunity for business analysts considering or preparing to write the ECBA™, CCBA ® or CBAP ® exam to meet with other like-minded individuals to review content in the BABOK ® v3.
Each month, we will focus on a single chapter of the BABOK ® v3, sharing perspectives on the content and answering questions among the group. A “technique spotlight” studies a select group of techniques relevant to the knowledge area. A quiz is offered at the end of each session to reinforce and assess the material covered.
Overview of the Session
In the December 2018 session, we will focus on the Requirements Life Cycle Management knowledge area, the fifth chapter of the BABOK ® v3.
The Requirements Life Cycle Management knowledge area describes the tasks that business analysts perform in order to manage and maintain requirements. The life cycle of requirements begins with the representation of a business need, continues through the development of a solution, and ends when a solution and the requirements that represent it are retired. These requirements will continue to provide value after implementation when they are managed properly.
