Components of a Business Case

Modeling for Business Analysis: Context Modeling, Part 1

The Business Analyst Career Roadmap

In keeping with this year's theme for IIBA, "The Business Case for Business Analysis", we're going to build and share a business case for business analysis, along with a plan to execute by framing the problem: just what is a business case, and what is it for?

This series of articles will address specific questions about analysis modeling that I've received from business analysts. Instead of hand-waving or pontificating about latest trends, I'll try to provide practical approaches to business modeling that I've applied successfully during my two decades of business analysis.

The Certification team has been working on creating an outline for the BA career path. This article outlines the steps required for an individual to advance from being new to the field of business analysis to becoming a BA specialist.

Real words that work
By Patricia Davies, President, Patricia Davies Communication

In every workshop I teach, I know one Business Analyst will ask, "How can I save time when I'm writing?"  I tell them the truth. "Clear and concise writing takes time. Nobody achieves a finished product on the first draft." A little direct perhaps, but realistic.


Chapter Personnel Profiles - Rick Clare
By Rick Clare, IIBA Vice President, Chapters

This month I have prepared the first of a new series of articles.  Over the course of the coming year, a number of these will appear, providing additional information on many of the Chapters volunteers—where they come from, their work background, and how they got involved with IIBA®.


IIBA in CIO Canada Magazine

Read the article "Business analysts: CIO sidekicks or successors?" an interview with Michael Gladstone, IIBA Vice President Certification and CIO.
