This
year has seen the greatest change since arriving in Washington, DC. I have
transitioned from the public to private sector and am studying for my third
project management certification. In addition, I have applied for more
prestigious fellowships and positions testing me. Even through the adversity, I
refuse to remain stagnant else I would die personally and professionally. Although
the change has been great, I have matured emotionally to handle everything
coming my way. In 2015, I see myself earning my PMI-PBA certification and most
importantly, experiencing the biggest and brightest future ever!

Keeping At It Through and Through
I am thankful for enrolling in
the Udemy Learn to Become a Professional Business Analyst course because it has
explained all of the business concepts to me. This course perfectly follows the
BABOK. Though I have read the BABOK by myself, this is the first time that
everything has clicked for me. I am 50%
done and after completing the two lessons and two quizzes, I’ll be 75%
done. I make it a practice to watch the
lesson video twice before taking the quiz to absorb everything that I have been
learning.

Decision-making Time
I
have returned to studying PMI-PBA by outlining the BA practice guide chapter 3.
Immediately afterward, I retake the Izenbridge PMI-PBA practice exam scoring 16
out of 30, 1 point less than last month. I’ve come to the conclusion that I
have to stop reading the practice guide and restart reading BABOK chapter 9 (technique).
I need to retain the business analysis words. Although PMI has created the
PMI-PBA exam, the practice guide isn’t the basis for the test yet. It may be
the right or wrong decision, but it is a decision.

The Benefits of Having Like Minds
Back at Studying for My PMI-PBA
Tuesday
I learned that Prometric only scheduled PMI-PBA proctored test next week and
the first week of the New Year but not the week of December 29th.
That meant that I would have to delay my certification until January 2015.
Normally I would be disappointed that I haven’t completed it this year but
given all of the things delaying me for over one week I am happy to be given an
extra week. This gives me the chance to outline the PMI’s business analysis practice
guide for an additional week. It’s like I have gotten this time back. Also I
have learned about the January 2014 PMI’S Pulse on Requirements Management
booklet which I will read because requirements are fundamental towards business
analysis. I am intent on using this weekend to restart my PMI-PBA studies
because earning my certification is essential towards enhancing my competitive
advantage.
