- Planning stakeholder engagement
- Business analysis governance: who decides what
- Information management, and keeping it traceable

- Confirming what you heard was what they meant
- Communicating business analysis information
- Managing stakeholder collaboration over a long engagement
Requirements life cycle management
15% of the exam. What happens to a requirement between being captured and being built — and how you defend it when priorities move.- Tracing requirements through to delivery
- Maintaining requirements for reuse
- Prioritising against value, risk and dependency
- Assessing the impact of a change
- Getting requirements formally approved
Strategy analysis
15% of the exam. The work before the project exists: what is wrong now, what better looks like, and whether the change is worth making.- Analysing the current state
- Defining the future state and the business need
- Assessing the risks of the change
- Defining a change strategy and the transition
Requirements analysis and design definition
30% of the exam — the largest knowledge area by some distance, and where most of the marks are won or lost.- Specifying and modelling requirements
- Verifying requirements, and validating them
- Defining the requirements architecture
- Defining and comparing design options
- Analysing potential value, and recommending a solution
Solution evaluation
14% of the exam. Proving the thing you delivered actually did what it was meant to — and saying so when it did not.- Measuring solution performance
- Analysing what the measures are telling you
- Assessing limitations in the solution
- Assessing limitations in the enterprise around it
- Recommending actions to increase value
Perspectives and underlying competencies
BABOK's five perspectives — agile, business intelligence, IT, business architecture and business process management — and the behaviours the exam expects of a senior analyst.- How each perspective changes scope and approach
- Analytical thinking and problem solving
- Communication and interaction skills
- Business knowledge, tools and technology
Your application and exam day
Everything between finishing the classroom and holding the credential — including the 7,500 hours IIBA asks you to document.- Eligibility: hours, references and the Code of Ethics
- Completing the application, and surviving an IIBA audit
- Booking the exam, and how long to leave
- Case-study questions, and how to read them
- Full-length mocks, then a knowledge-area review of your result
How to apply
1. Create an IIBA profile and open the CBAP application. 2. Log your professional development hours. Keep the certificate — IIBA asks for it at audit. 3. Enter your work history against the knowledge areas, and check the distribution rule before you go on. 4. Pay the application fee. It is non-refundable and non-transferable, and the application expires twelve months after purchase.
The CBAP exam
Competency-based. The questions put you in a situation and test what you decide. Delivered by PSI, either online with a proctor or at a PSI test center. Every other IIBA exam is online-proctored only; CBAP and CCBA can also be sat in person. Offered in English and Japanese. You are expected to be proficient in the language you sit.
How to stay certified?
Your three-year cycle starts the day you pass, not on 1 January. You need 60 CDUs in the cycle, recorded in IIBA's BA Development Log. One CDU is one hour of planned activity, counted in quarter-hour increments. You must record CDUs in more than one category, and respect each category maximum.
Why get CBAP Certified?
Business analysis is the work of finding what an organization actually needs and recommending the change that delivers it. The CBAP is IIBA's evidence that you do that at a senior level.
