You are welcome to join the BA Study Group online Tuesday, June 16 at 8:00 p.m., when they continue discussing chapter 2 highlights from a Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK®) version 2.0, just released March 31, 2009. Jessica Hoyt, our chapter VP of Education, is facilitating a discussion of chapter 2 highlights.
As stated previously, the study group decided study sessions will be hosted online primarily using a chapter GoToMeeting® account (courtesy of Citrix Systems), thereby eliminating the commute so we focus on learning and knowledge sharing.
These study sessions are open to the public. You can join here now if you are not an IIBA member or need to renew your subscription. If you have not received an email from Jessica Hoyt recently about the next study session, then be sure to indicate Study Session interest by signing up using our Contact Us form.
