IIBA Announces New Online Library for IIBA Members

Just like the Project Management Institute (PMI) has done for Project and Program Managers, the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) has announced they now have an online library available for members.

If you are an IIBA member I suggest that you take advantage of this great tool. See the announcement below.

New! Online Library Exclusively for IIBA Members

IIBA^® is pleased to announce the launch of the new Online Library. This library gives IIBA members exclusive access to a huge online selection of 300 books, and we will be adding new books each quarter.

This Online Library is an incredible value for IIBA members—if you tried to purchase these works individually, it would cost you around $15,000 US. A subscription to services that provide access to all of these works online would cost you around $700 annually. As an IIBA member, you now have access to this wide variety of books for FREE! Membership in IIBA is now more valuable than ever. 

The content of this library has been reviewed and selected by the IIBA Professional Development team. It includes most of the books used in the development of the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge^® (BABOK^®) Guide, making it a key reference for anyone who is studying for the Certified Business Analysis Professional™ (CBAP^®) exam.  

We invite you to visit the Online Library and take full advantage of this important member benefit.  

You can also download a complete listing of books available in the Online Library.

At IIBA, we are continuously looking for new benefits for our members, to add even more value to your IIBA membership. We ask that you forward this email to your business analyst colleagues and let them know that there has never been a better time to join IIBA.

IIBA Certification – Is it Worth it for PMP Certified Project Managers

As a PMP certified Project Manager in the Enterprise Content Mangement area I am interested in hearing from other Project Managers who have also gone through the International Institute of Business Analysis process to get an IIBA Business Analyst Certification.  As Project Managers in the ECM area, Business Analysis is a large function of the work we perform on projects.

I have been hearing more and more about this certification. I have also done some research on the IIBA certification process from their website:

International Institute of Business Analysis

A local chapter of IIBA is just forming in my area and I plan to become a member so I can gain more insight into the program.  I did this same thing when I joined my local PMI chapter when I first entered into the PMP program.

I would love to hear from any project managers or even those who have gone through the program in reference to the value of the certification and whether it is worth the time and effort to get the certification?
