Hi - Long time developer and project manager. Just completed my PMI-PMP and am looking to see what would be the next logical step in pursuing my next PM role. Any and all input is appreciated.

Thank you
Rich

This is a lot of good information from all of you. I appreciate the feedback. I do have years of experience in BA skills, but I also find limited sources for meeting the contact hours for the PMI-PBA. I can easily find hours for the ACP. I would prefer not to make my decision (or precedence of taking the tests) based on that. Would any of you have suggestions for the PBA contact hours?

Thank you very much for your time because I learned a lot from your comment. IT is not a key enabler for Agile. Agile is a practice that was created in 1990 as an alternative of Lean (because that Agile and Lean are not the same). For a chance of the destiny I was part of the genesis as well as I was part of the genesis of business analysis. Business analysis was born in 1990 not matter the IIBA was formally created time before. BRM is a new endeavour that was created in 2013 and I think if PMI really push BA then BRM will not to much success to survive. At the end, unfortunatelly, all the institutes that started with a good reason after some time forget that we are here performing a role and only think about to transform role and practices into business.

Sometimes I wish we can talk in real time, I appreciate your views yet I disagree:) But I’ll open new discussion thread because we are now moving out of the original question of Rich.

Btw I know personally one of the BRMI co-founders and he was working on the concept for about 40 years so I don’t consider that a new endavour that would emerge recently. But yes, I agree on the point that PMI does not push BA and does not use its potential.
