BABOK Chapter 2: Business Analysis Key Concepts

In January 2018, the Vancouver Chapter will start a new series of study sessions of the BABOK® Guide v3. The purpose of these sessions is to help BAs understand and achieve International Institute of Business Analysis™ (IIBA®) certifications. At these sessions, participants will review and discuss key concepts, knowledge and skills, and share experiences in business analysis practices. 9 monthly sessions will continue until November 2018.

The sessions are based on A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge^® (BABOK^® Guide) version 3.

• Chapter 1 introduces the BABOK® Guide and explains what business analysis is and who a business analyst is.
• Chapter 2 includes information that provides a foundation for all other content, concepts, and ideas within the BABOK® Guide.

Session one will be facilitated by Holly Zhang, CBAP®. Holly Zhang is a Senior Business Advisor with over 25 years of experience in information technology development, business analysis, project management and adult education. She is also an online instructor for the UBC Certificate in Business Analysis program since 2013.
