About BABOK

Methodical tool for management and decision-making

Identifying change requests, analyzing them, designing solutions and implementing those with added value are the keys to the growth and survival of companies. By implementing change, we create new value in the form of improved business processes, products and services in response to changes in the business environment, but it is also about taking advantage of opportunities and averting threats.

Are you also a Business Analyst?

You don't have to be a Business Analyst directly. This discipline / methodology is used in many other positions, such as: system, process analyst, or enterprise analyst. Also product and project manager. BI (Business Intelligence, Data Analyst / Scientist) consultants and others. 

Most beginning managers have very little experience with business analysis. And this is a big mistake in career development. The first method they use is something like "Trial & Error". Over time, with new experiences and hard work, they develop habits that work. And that's exactly what the Business Analysis Body Of Knowledge is all about. A set of best-practices, i.e. proven management techniques, processes and procedures.

There are a number of jobs that regularly encounter Business Analysis, e.g. in the form of assignments, presentations, or work directly with it. The most frequent course participants are Project, Program, Portfolio managers, Development and Quality Managers.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) according to BABOK

TAYLLORCOX, as an internationally accredited certification body, operates under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It was he who issued the first international standard that harmonizes best practice for business analysts: Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The standard is labeled ISO 22317. It provides organizations with complete know-how on how to effectively implement BIA processes. 

A huge advantage over other standards is the fact that these procedures are based on the BABOK methodology and are fully compatible with the Business Continuity Management System ISO 22301, but they can also be used independently. This methodological standard is intended for large and small organizations across industries. 

TAYLLORCOX offers the best and most comprehensive study completed with an internationally recognized certification according to the BABOK Foundation standard. Other organizations and associations are also active in the field of Business Analysis. With the exception of ISO, they all operate on annual membership fees and it is possible to register here and be a member of these professional associations. The last-mentioned association IIBA is the most well-known, but widespread mainly in the USA.
