BABOK 2006 (version 1.6) Business Analysis Skills Assessment (BASA)

The BASA helps individuals identify skill gaps, strengths and weaknesses around core Business Analysis competency areas correlating with the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)’s Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), 06. Once identified, these gaps can be filled with customized training,
self study, or structured coaching. The results of the assessment are categorized into the specific BABOK areas and then aligned with statistical benchmarks
and narrative recommendations. These outputs graphically illustrate target areas for improvement by priority ranking and then correlate narrative recommendations based on a best practice database. Each report is reviewed by an AMS Consultant prior to return, ensuring that the practical aspects of business analysis have also been taken into consideration.

The assessment is web based and can be completed within 20 minutes.
