define a governance approach that involves the right stakeholders.
Process
Modelling
Used to document the process or method for governing business analysis.
Reviews Used to review the proposed governance plan with key stakeholders.
Survey or
Questionnaire

Can be used in the following
Knowledge Areas and Tasks:
BA Planning and Monitoring (3.1, 3.2, 3.3)
Elicitation and Collaboration (4.1, 4.2, 4.3)

10.18 Estimation – Example using PERT
INITIATIVE: Acme Brewing Co. has been in the business of creating beers of distinction for over 100 years. With recent changes in legislation to permit in-store brewing, the company is looking to improve efficiencies and reduce the costs in its operations in order to compete with smaller retailers
ESTIMATE the time needed to develop a business case to address Acme Brewing Co.’s needs using the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
• MO (Most Optimistic) = 5 days• ML (Most Likely) = 12 days• MP (Most Pessimistic) = 21 days
• Plugged into algorithm (MO + 4ML + MP)/6 = (5 + 4(12) + 21) / 6 = (5 + 48 + 21)/6 = 74/6 = 12.33
Therefore the estimated (expected) time to develop the business case = 12.33 days
![Page 25: IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais Chapter Study Group Session...Brainstorming Used to generate an initial list of potential stakeholder names who may need approval roles in the defined governance](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e80d800fce87a7a8606a4df/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Strengths Weaknesses
• Estimates only as good as the knowledge level of the elements being estimated
• Without local/org knowledge, estimates can vary widely from actuals
• Using only 1 estimation method may lead to unrealistic expectations
10.18 Estimation – Usage Considerations
• Provides a rationale
• Basis upon which a change can be budgeted/scheduled
• Updating (refining) the estimates during the initiative increases confidence
• Team of knowledgeable estimators better than single individual

![Page 39: IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais Chapter Study Group Session...Brainstorming Used to generate an initial list of potential stakeholder names who may need approval roles in the defined governance](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e80d800fce87a7a8606a4df/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
7 Steps to Passing the CBAP® or CCBA®
#3: Read the entire BABOK®
– Read the entire book (not necessarily in one sitting) before doing any other preparation
– Take notes as you go
– Business analysis is iterative and non-linear, therefore pick your favourite KA first then concentrate on others
– 6 KAs / 32 tasks / 50 techniques / 5 perspectives
39

7 Steps to Passing the CBAP® or CCBA® #4: Absorb the BABOK®Study according to your learning style – choose a method or several methods that suit you:
– For some, reading and rereading the BABOK– For others, using a study guide (tips and tricks)– For others, attending study groups– For others, answering exam questions– For others, attending classes– For others, individual study– Consider flash cards for BABOK terminology new to you
(premade, online or homemade will do)

7 Steps to Passing the CBAP® or CCBA®
#5: Take Practice Exam Questions
– In this phase, begin practicing exams
– Take numerous quizzes and exams
– Track your progress
– Revisit KAs that you are not scoring well on
– Consider online exam simulators
– Do a few timed simulations to check your speed

7 Steps to Passing the CBAP® or CCBA®
#6: Do Final Preparation
– Focus on areas you have had trouble with
– Further study and practice questions on these areas
– Get a good sleep the night before the exam:
“REST WELL = TEST WELL”
42
![Page 43: IIBA Ottawa-Outaouais Chapter Study Group Session...Brainstorming Used to generate an initial list of potential stakeholder names who may need approval roles in the defined governance](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e80d800fce87a7a8606a4df/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
7 Steps to Passing the CBAP® or CCBA® #7: Do a “Brain Dump” then Pass the ExamOn the day of the exam:
– Eat a nutritious breakfast or lunch– Drink enough water… but not too much– Allow plenty of time to get to the exam location– “brain dump” just before the start of the exam (inside
the exam room) – helps to clear your brain, reduce test anxiety and can serve as a reference during your exam
– Don’t be intimidated by the first questions
