Project Managers evolve in their profession. They start out as novices, gain experience, get certified, and continue with projects.\u00a0 However, in this evolutionary process, a missing link has been found.\u00a0 It is rather embarrassing, actually, that it hadn\u2019t been discovered before.\u00a0 At first, it was thought to be a different species, but after much evidence, the truth was starring us in the face.\u00a0 The missing link to the PM\u2019s professional evolution is business analysis training and certification.<\/p>\n
PM\u2019s spend a lot of time working with managers to identify and address business problems.\u00a0 Key activities include collecting, analyzing, and\u00a0 selecting requirements for a project as well as validating the requirements against the deliverables.\u00a0 All these activities are the bread and butter of a business analyst.<\/p>\n
Like project management, business analysis has been formalized with the help of the IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysis). It was established in 2003 and has BA certifications: the entry level CCBA and the advanced level CBAP.\u00a0 Like, PMI, it developed its Business Analysis Book of Knowledge (BABOK).<\/p>\n
The takeaway is the PM\u2019s will benefit greatly from formal business analysis training, and the industry will begin to expect certification. PMI has recently realized this and has a BA certification in the pilot stage called the Professional in Business Analyst, PBA.\u00a0 With the backing of PMI and its worldwide resources, this certification is headed for success.\u00a0 It will transform project management by morphing PM\u2019s and BA\u2019s into a hybrid species, whose name is still unknown.\u00a0 For a PMP to get a PBA certification will soon be a given.
