Funnily enough after I left the comment I found my way to the online app; a much better way of doing things!

I’ve started documenting my experience and found the app very good – at the moment I’m still running on my timesheet reporting data from my current role so the fun will come for my previous roles!!

Thanks for this information – will you be applying or have you already?

The IIBA just announced the launch of on online application. I have not seen it, but it should have some guidance for your. Here is the link with more info, http://www.theiiba.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Application.

Good luck! Kupe

I’m an IIBA member just applying for my CBAP and having trawled the IIBA site, can’t find any details of an ‘expected’ format for the documenting of BA experience. I’m lucky that I have about 12 years experience to pull from, but as I can’t find a specific template for reference, was thinking of pulling together a spreadsheet of headings. Do you know of an accepted format for presentation, or is it a free-for-all as long as the experience is relevant to the BABOK areas?

Thanks

Thanks for your question. My first suggestion would be for you to review some BA resources to determine how much experience you already have. Many people have been performing business analysis tasks under different titles for many years. Reviewing the IIBA BABOK, my book, or any of the resources on our Resources page will give you an idea of how your experience fits into the BA framework. Once you have assessed your experience, try to get more experience on projects in your organization. This experience can also be gained in volunteer assignments at churches and charities. Use the BA online communities to learn more. Becoming a BA is all about practice, practice, practice. Get it whereever you can!
