IIBA certifications are the globally recognized standard for
business analysis.
Many certifications in the business analysis space cover the core
skills of requirements engineering and management, but IIBA
certifications go beyond those basics to deliver unique value.
IIBA programs address the need for business analysis
professionals to link strategy to execution, ensure long-term
benefits are realized from a change, and integrate innovation
and process improvement with technology change. This means
that professionals certified by IIBA are able to contribute to the
success of the entire business, not just help a project deliver on
time, on scope, and on budget.
IIBA certification offers many benefits, including:
• Establishment and implementation of best practices in
business analysis by individuals acknowledged as
knowledgeable and skilled.
• More reliable, higher quality results produced with
increased efficiency and consistency.
• Recognition as a business analysis professional to
colleagues, clients and business stakeholders.
• Professional development and recognition for
experienced business analysis professionals.
• Demonstrated commitment to the field of business
analysis, which is increasingly recognized as vital to all
areas of business.
