HOW IRM’S TRAINING COURSES MAP TO VERSION 3 OF THE BABOK®

The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®) is the publisher of the BABOK® Guide, a globally recognised standard for the practice of business analysis.

The core content of the BABOK® is a collection of many of the most common business analysis tasks. These tasks are logically grouped into 6 Knowledge Areas:

  • Business Analysis  Planning & Monitoring
  • Elicitation & Collaboration
  • Requirements Life Cycle Management
  • Strategy Analysis
  • Requirements Analysis & Design Definition
  • Solution Evaluation

These Knowledge Areas are underpinned by:

  • Business Analysis Key Concepts
  • Underlying Competencies
  • Techniques
  • Perspectives

The BABOK® V3 is just over 500 pages long and contains a wealth of information – much more material than could be covered in any training course. Instead most training companies (including IRM) focus on training in Competencies and Techniques – skills which lend themselves to a learn-by-doing approach.

The Competencies and Techniques covered in IRM courses are a selection from the many available, but a selection based on many years of training experience and course feedback from customers.
