Friday I learned from Project
Management Institute’s Twitter that it is holding a Professional Business
Analyst (PMI-PBA) certification pilot program.
This motivated to read PMBOK, BABOK and purchase a study book to
prepare. Unlike my PMI-ACP certification
endeavor (which I will return to later this year), I have a lot more overlap
with business analysis than agile. I
have a PMP, MBA, business analysis education and 8 years’ business analysis
experience. I would easily qualify.
After
debating and expending much energy deciding whether or not to return to my
office, I’ve discovered that I can copy and paste the BABOK to Word enabling me
to create a chapter 1 summary sheet. There is a whole lot of information that I
must grasp but I am ready to absorb everything in order to pass the PMI-BPA
pilot program. Though 61% is probably
the passage rate, I am aiming for 80% and will accomplish this through using
CBAP exam materials. I do think that
buying the Rita Mulachy CBAP flashcards and writing down a couple per day will
help me become stronger in the business analysis area. Even though this is
chapter 1, there is so many differences between business analysis and project
management. I have to learn the lingo. My brain is expanding with blood
circulating through parts of my brain I probably haven’t used since studying
for my PMP last year.

The PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) examination was not written according to any single text or reference. PMI has compiled a "Recommended Reading List" for those participating in this certification program. business analyst certification
Disha now with the PMI's Business Analysis Practice Guide, many test takers are saying that this is the book that you should read if you want to pass the test. Thanks for the comment. Take care.
