Now Available! IIBA Business Analysis Competency Model Version 2

The IIBA® Business Analysis Competency Model is a tool for assessing the ability of business analysts to properly perform this role. It includes knowledge, skills and behaviors, and describes the qualities that can make a BA successful in doing this work.

The Competency Model is different from the BABOK® Guide in that while the guide outlines the work a BA performs and details the knowledge required to perform that work, the model provides a method for identifying what behaviors make a BA successful in performing the activities outlined in the BABOK®.

Benefits to organizations employing BAs:

  • Assess the performance of their BAs
  • Identify why BAs are succeeding or under performing in the role
  • Understand the best types of training or education for improvement
  • Coach and mentor BAs
  • Conduct performance reviews

Benefits to Business Analysts:

  • Assess their own BA skills
  • Identify areas for professional development
  • Set goals for managing their own career path

Companies will find the Competency Model very useful for a variety of applications including:*

• 360 Degree Feedback/Assessment & Self Assessment Tools
• Educating BAs on the role of a BA
• Assessing role gaps
• Defining the BA role in the organization
• Developing recruitment and selection processes
• Coaching and mentoring BAs
• Evaluating performance of BAs
* Requires a Corporate License from IIBA

The model also serves as a tool for completing an organizational assessment and it is therefore an important part of the recently launched Corporate Membership Program.
