The pilot release of your new solution has recently been implemented. So how’s that working out for the organization? Is it delivering the value you had anticipated? Is it meeting the expectations of the stakeholders? If not, why not? Perhaps there’s a problem with the solution. Perhaps there’s a problem with the environment. If so, what should be done?

Purpose of the Study Group

The purpose of monthly study group sessions is to 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 amongst 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. The session is facilitated by a CBAP-certified business analyst.

Looking for materials from past sessions? Please visit the certification study groups web page.

Overview of the Session

In the March 2019 session, we will focus on the Solution Evaluation knowledge area, discussed in chapter 8 of the BABOK ® v3.

The Solution Evaluation knowledge area describes the tasks that business analysts perform to assess the performance of and value delivered by a solution in use by the enterprise, and to recommend removal of barriers or constraints that prevent the full realization of the value.
