I recently passed PMI-PBA exam and below are my study resources and experience. Hope this helps anyone who is planning to pursue PBA exam.
1. PMI's Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide
This is a must to understand the scope and some questions did came from the guide.
2. PMI PBA Study tables by Watermark learning :
It provides a very clear concepts and a very good summary of all techniques. This is useful for recap and quick review
3. IIBA’s BABOK V2
This is very useful to understand knowledge areas for business analysis
4. The PMBOK - I mainly focused on Scope, Quality, communication and Risk.
I also read the Rita Mulcahy's Hot Topics Flashcards for Passing the PMP.
As I am already a PMP, so it was easy for me to have a quick glance.
5. Business Analysis Techniques: 99 Essential Tools for Success:
I went through all the techniques mentioned in "PMI's Business Analysis for Practitioners: A Practice Guide" and it provided clear explanation on the use of the techniques and good examples.
If you are a PMI member you can have free access to this book from their e books website.
6. CBAP / CCBA Certified Business Analysis Study Guide, 2nd Edition
I went through complete book and all practice exam, this helped me to understand the level of questions expected.
Suggestions:
Please read thoroughly the BA practitioner guide and understand the concept and practice the mock exam before appearing actual exam. Saving Changes...
