BABOK 2 Public Review Begins

March 31, 2008 |

BABOK version 2 is now available for download from the IIBA’s website. This document represents a complete draft of version 2 of the knowledge areas contained in the Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. This draft is being made available to the business analysis community to gather feedback on the content and quality of this material in order that the IIBA™ may assess the current state of the draft and make decisions about which changes should be included in the final release of version 2.

The public review will be conducted between March 31, 2008 and May 15, 2008. We ask that members of the business analysis community or those with an interest in business analysis, whether or not they are members of the IIBA, provide the IIBA with feedback regarding the quality and content of this draft through the online survey. The survey will request that you provide us with a rating of the quality of each task, technique, and competency, and provide you with an opportunity to suggest additional tasks and techniques that might be missing from this draft. You may also provide feedback directly to bok@theiiba.org, although we regret that we will be unable to respond directly to such feedback.

Following the completion of the public review, the IIBA will conduct additional surveys to assess the importance of each task and technique to the business analysis community in order to make a final determination of the content that will be included in the final draft.

In conjunction with the public review, we are conducting practitioner and expert reviews which will provide us with additional qualitative feedback on the content and quality of this release. When all of the reviews are complete, we will begin revising the text of the BABOK to include the changes suggested by the community, with the final release of version 2 targeted for the third quarter of 2008. The CBAP™ exam will continue to be based on version 1.6 until the final release of version 2. Once version 2 is generally available, the IIBA will announce a date for conversion of the exam.

The IIBA would like to thank the many volunteers who have generously contributed their time and energy to this effort.

Kevin Brennan, CBAP
VP, Body of Knowledge

(For the record, I’m still posting at blog.theiiba.org; just putting this up for anyone who comes here).
