about BA-Toolkit
Why the BA Toolkit?
During the execution of Business Analysis tasks, business analysts may use various knowledge, skills, terminology, and attitudes. Using the BABOK as a guide, many business analysts find it not easy to read and challenging to apply in real-life scenarios.
If you agree with this and want access to a visual guide with straightforward explanations, tips and tricks, videos, examples, exercises, templates, etc., you are in the right place. The platform is currently available in both English and French.
See an example of a technical sheet.
But that's not all.
You can also ask questions, share your experiences and ideas with other business analysts via the forum and other channels. The BA Toolkit is developed by experienced business analysts who felt the need for a practical guide in their daily BA life. It is constantly improved with new information and techniques (some of which are not even found in the BABOK). After all, Business Analysis is continually evolving!
With the BA Toolkit, the BABOK becomes crystal clear!
It's here to make your life easier. Let's create it together. We are always open to new ideas and would love to hear yours!
