Business analysis has evolved into a fundamental project management ability.
While chances for BAs are on the rise, becoming certified as a business analysis (BA) expert can help you take your career in a new direction.

According to PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® research, inaccuracy in requirements collection is regularly one of the top three causes of project failure, but only half of businesses have the resources in place to conduct this activity properly.

It’s time for you to become the certified expert your company requires.
The PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)® will highlight your valuable talents if you work with stakeholders in establishing requirements, influencing project outputs, and driving intended business objectives.
