This is a question or doubt that arises in many professionals mind, during the
course of their professional career.
And we come across this question very often, either as a doubt of why should I
go for Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) when I am a PMP certified
professional or a project manager with 10+ years of experience or as seeking an
advice how will CBAP certification add value to me given my background of
Project management.
My suggestion would be yes, the reasons are as below:
With changing market scenario it’s always better to upskill and not get
confined to a particular skill or role
With more and more automation coming to play and tools performing most of
the PM tasks the BA and PM roles are getting merged
As one makes career progress in professional life the need for having
diversified and multiple skills becomes more evident.We may need to learn human
resource practices, finance, and accounting, legal and marketing. And the one
with multiple skills and certifications become the obvious choice for the
leadership role.
The good part is having the project management experience will definitely be a
big advantage to have a well-rounded career profile with business analysis
skills added to it.
The other good part is lots of corporates recognize Certified Business Analysis
Professional (CBAP) designation as part of their competency framework as well.
Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) certification coming from IIBA,
Canada which is the undisputable leader in this segment has excellent
recognition in North America, Canada, Australia and all other major geographies.
Hence getting geared to train and get certified for CBAP is one of the wisest
career move for a professional having project management skills and looking up
to move higher in the career to a leadership position.
Having business analysis skills and being a CBAP will provide you an extra armor
to fight in a volatile and uncertain world.
