I need some advise with regards to the PMI-PBA Exam:
1- What is a good online course (Self-Paced) to get the 35 PDU's required for the application ? 2- What is the best source of simulation exams ? 3- What is the recommended study material ? Are the following PMI resources enough: - PMI Guide for BA - PMI Business Analysis for Practitioners - PMI Requirements gathering guide
I do appreciate your advise and assistance - Thanks Saving Changes...
1- In our line of business as Project Management & Business Development Consultants we do lots of Business Analysis work (This is one of our primary focus tasks) so the company actually supports this type of professional development.
2- Despite the fact that IIBA's CBAP is well established, after looking into both, I found that PMI-PBA is an adequate certificate and provides suffcient knowledge for what we do. Other things considered:
- I am not a member of IIBA and for non-members the exam is more expensive. - I'd rather continue doing such high level certifications with one certification body and so far I am comfortable with PMI's certifications especially that they are highly and globally accepted / recognized.
Hope this makes sense.
I like the criteria on membership of IIBA, I have it in my evaluation also.
Still, puzzle about the value of IIBA CBAP vs the PMI PBA!

Thanks Mate, I will. This is probably for next year.
