Certified Agile Business Analyst

While both developers and testers have clear and recognizable roles in the agile development environment, the role of the BA is not clearly defined. This may be because business analysis is misunderstood in general but is probably exacerbated by the lack of a widely accepted definition or framework for agile BAs – until now.

The course provides an introduction to the work of a business analyst in an agile development context contrasted with the traditional BA role. It also introduces a selection of techniques that align well with the agile approach and philosophy. Furthermore it provides an overview of agile & common agile methods, and predominantly focusses on software development because agile methods are mainly presented in the software development area.

The Certified Agile Business Analyst (CABA) is based on the Agile Extension to the BABOK® Guide Version 1.0 produced in collaboration between the IIBA® and the Agile Alliance.
