Kai, The BABOK is not designed to do this. I’d actually suggest looking at training programs that include a case study or Ellen Gottesdiener’s and Mary Gorman’s recent book Discover to Deliver that incorporates a case study.

Hi David,

I get your question, but typically this happens in reverse. The BABOK is actually designed to be a representation of real BA practices in the community. So ANY implementation of a BA framework could be aligned with the BABOK.

I’d suggest working through this in the reverse way. Go through the BABOK and map it to your own work experience. This is the part of preparing for the CBAP I found most fulfilling.

I appreciate your article, and I understand that a framework is not a methodology; however, do you know of any general examples where someone has taken the BABOK framework and developed their own methodology to handle a repeatable project type (e.g. software upgrades)? I’m trying to make a jump between theory and everyday usage.

I find i learn better from books that show real project examples vs lists of to-do’s. will the babok help.

It’s definitely a pervasive problem and I often find that BAs are asking me what their managers are asking them!
