Product ID: 14396453
A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge(R) (BABOK(R) Guide) is the only globally recognized standard of practice for business analysis. Developed through a rigorous consensus-driven standards process, the BABOK(R) Guide incorporates the collective wisdom and experience of experts in the field from around the world. Previous editions have guided hundreds of thousands of professionals in their work, and it has been adopted by hundreds of enterprises as the basis of their business analysis practice. This latest version of the guide extends its scope beyond business analysis in projects to address agile development, business process management, business intelligence, and business architecture. This thoroughly revised and updated version includes: - A concept model that unifies ideas and terminology across business analysis disciplines. - Restructured knowledge areas to support business analysis at every level from small tactical initiatives to major business transformations. - Five perspectives covering the most prominent business analysis disciplines and demonstrating how to apply the knowledge areas in different situations. - Coverage of new business analysis techniques that have gained wide acceptance in the community. - Updated and revised content in every knowledge area and more!

Review: Essential reading for BAs - 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. Review: Product knowledge. - Good information.

Great resource, wish it had a hardcover
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.

Comprehensive
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.

Was this an afterthought?
The information is good, but the formatting translation to ebook is seriously lacking. Either someone didn't proofread this after the translation or Amazon isn't providing consistent translation across reader platforms. It's not as bad as it could be, but it definitely interferes with the readability and comprehension.

Excellent book on generally accepted practices of business analysis
A good improvement over earlier versions of the BABOK. Moves more toward business instead of IT centric. Also introduces multiple perspectives that business analysis can be practiced in. An excellent guide for business analysis professionals.
