Our Mission |
|
The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) Sacramento Valley Chapter (SVC) is dedicated to bringing the Business Analyst community in Sacramento valley together to help Grow, Connect, and Evolve the Business Analysis profession. It is our goal to help prepare our members to reach their goals of becoming a Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) and share their experiences with our community. |
In addition to technical skills and domain knowledge, business analysts are also encouraged to display the five behavioral core competencies listed in the BABOK Guide (Chapter 9) . These core competencies serve as a foundation for effective and ethical professional practice.
Competency Spotlight: Facilitation
Chapter 9 of the BABOK Guide highlights underlying competencies that "support the practice of business analysis," with facilitation being a key interaction skill for business analysts. This competency plays a pivotal role within the Elicitation and Collaboration knowledge area, encompassing activities such as conducting interviews, facilitating workshops, and orchestrating structured meetings to define and refine requirements. A critical element of effective facilitation is ensuring stakeholder engagement by managing expectations and addressing their needs comprehensively.
Certification Focus
This section provides a more in-depth focus on the certification exams offered by IIBA. The exams offered by IIBA are Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP), CCBA (Certification of Capability in Business Analysis), Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA), Agile Analysis Certification (IIBA-AAC), Business Data Analytics Certification (IIBA-CBDA), Cybersecurity Analysis Certification (IIBA-CCA), and the Product Ownership Analysis Certification (IIBA-CPOA).

You’re in the meeting. You’re expected to contribute. You’re not sure where to start. ECBA gives you a way in—so you can move from unsure to useful, faster than you thought possible.
When Fixing the Problem Isn’t the Problem: A Case for Problem Framing
When a data discrepancy landed on my desk, the obvious move was to fix the number. What I found instead was a lesson every business analyst eventually learns: sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is question whether the problem is worth solving at all.
