Because the certification has meaning that is fluid and career or personal goals are always changing, I believe it's up to the individual business analyst professional to decide for themselves if certification is right for them based on these factors. If the certification program means upward mobility in their profession or enables an individual to excel at their current job, then it is probably worth the time and cost to undertake a certification program. But I would caution anyone not to cut corners or to cram for the exam to obtain the certification. If they don't see a certification program as a chance to learn, grow and develop their skills and knowledge, then it's probably not worth the investment.

| Reviews | | Peter Osborn | CBAP All fluff
I was considering the cbap designation , and downloaded the BABOK . Its' all fluf with no substance . I also met with many individuals with CBAP designations and found that the quality and skill level is low . The local chapter meetings is like a cigar club , sponsored by local recruiting agencies and companies that are hurting for quality resources . I have 4 CBAP's working for me now and I do not intend to extend their contracts . A waste of time , money and resources .
The IIBA has a long way to go and should get real for a change and concentrate on real world methodologies and requirements instead of lingering around with fluff that's 30 years old . |
