A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide) Paperback – Illustrated, April 15, 2015

Good information.

This book has all the tools needed for prep for IIBA. It is also great for current BAs as a reference.

This isn't the most riveting thing to read, obviously, since it's basically a text book. However, it is essential reading if you're a BA. If you're just starting out in the field or intending on getting your CBAP or other IIBA certification, then you should read it start to finish to give yourself a foundation of knowledge / study for the exam. Otherwise, I still find it handy to have on hand as a reference guide. Need to refresh your knowledge of a certain technique that maybe you don't use often? Then read the section on just that technique. Need some guidance on setting up your requirements plan? Refer to just that section of the BABOK. Definitely recommended for all BAs.

This book will be valuable for my job, and I look forward to diving in to it! I do wish it came in a hardcover for more durability though, because it's a big book and a hardcover will last longer. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because it was damaged, which is most likely the shipping carriers fault not the vendor. The back cover and about 6 pages were scrunched, and the spine has a tear. Not a huge deal and I can live with it, but a hardcover would have withstood shipping better.

Full disclosure... I haven't read it yet! But I've glanced through it. I'm pleased with the purchase. Looks structured similar to the PMBOK Guide.

I like everything, dislike nothing.

Just opened book for the first time. Pages ii through iv are almost completely detached from the binding! It is buund with glue that is yellow. I am wondering if the glue is old and list ability to adhere to paper. Need the book now for class so I can’t return it. The content and images are awesome and streamlined, however. I like the large print as well. I hope it doesn’t completely fall apart! If it weren’t coming apart, I would give it a 5 star rating.

Business Analysis, as promoted by the IIBA, is becoming the most significant role in systems development and business process engineering. The techniques presented in the new BABOK, including the agile modules, brings the experiences of senior BAs to all ranges of BAs. to have a disciplined course guiding them to successfully proving that requirements are the greatest investment a company can make when doing any project, large-scale or small. This BABOK brings together the latest in roles, techniques, planning, and experiences, that we all can lean on.Thanks, IIBA!
