The long awaited BABOK® Guide v3 is nearly here!
So why did the IIBA update the BABOK?
We live in a world of fast change, everyone wants things completed yesterday. Digital disruption, the internet of things, micro personalisation; it’s all about data, data & more data …
Let’s make things faster, let’s make them cheaper, lets’ make them more efficient & effective… oh and sexier and more fun!
Well the IIBA needed to get with the trends:
- Keep the BABOK® Guide current
- Incorporate things they’d learned since v2 came out
- Make it applicable in more situations
- Improve theoretical underpinnings and models
- Improve understanding
- Help BAs do their jobs better
It’s true that the core of the business analysis is still the same but there are new ideas and techniques around creative workshops, service design, divergent thinking etc.. that make our jobs really fun.
So what’s changed in the BABOK?
How exciting is that?!?!
We are enabling change in the context of our organisation by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver VALUE to our stakeholder.
Pictorially, it looks like this:
Stay tuned and watch this space for the next update of BABOK v3.0
