cbap_study_group.png

Much of a business analyst’s work begins with clearly defining the business needs of our stakeholders. Failing to perform Strategy Analysis successfully—or at all—introduces a risk that we may fail to address our stakeholders’ real business needs and ultimately fail to deliver value to our stakeholders.

Purpose of the Study Group

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 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. Theses sessions are facilitated by a CBAP-certified business analyst.

Overview of the Session

In the January 2019 session, we will focus on the Strategy Analysis knowledge area, the sixth chapter of the BABOK ® v3.

The Strategy Analysis knowledge area describes the business analysis work that must be performed to collaborate with stakeholders in order to identify a need of strategic or tactical importance (the business need), enable the enterprise to address that need, and align the resulting strategy for the change with higher- and lower-level strategies.
