Perspectives additional info

November 20, 201527

Perspectives can be thought as the viewpoints (perspectives if you will) thatan individual who practices a given profession might see, when looking at aset of needs, a problem or a solution.

Perspectives are not mutually exclusive i.e. multiple perspectives can beincluded in the same analysis domain.

Perspectives are a new notion and didnt exist in BABOK V2. There are 5in all: Agile, Business Intelligence, Information Technology, BusinessArchitecture, and, Business Process Management.

Perspectives allow one to interpret and apply the BABOK Knowledge Areasand Tasks from the lens which they are operating.

Where can I get V3 of the BABOK? Current IIBA members can download the eBook version at: http://www.iiba.org/. This is a benefit of your

membership. Cost to Non-IIBA members is $55 USD.

The printed version is out and available on Amazon here. It costs ~$75 USD.

Did they change for the sake of change?

Good Question! Organizations, authors and publishers are often ridiculed for purposely obsoleting theircontent for revenue generation reasons. It has been 6 years since V2 was published.

IIBA felt they needed to update the BABOK to account for:

1. Wide adoption of Agile / Lean Methodologies. Every BA should know the basics of Agile methodology.

2. Be more inclusive to fields outside of IT that have significant BA elements.

3. ~50% increase in Techniques (34 in V2 up to 50 in V3). ~150 pages of BA techniques!

4. Addition of new BI Perspective

5. Recognition that many Organizations have a BA who is responsible for BA and Solution Design.New section describes the distinction and overlap between requirements and design.

exam for V2, mayI take V3 exam? Yes, you may take the V3 of the CBAPexam if you desire to do so. But it is not necessary to retain your
