Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA)®

The Project Management Institute (PMI)® offers professional credentials for business analysis professionals, known as the PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) ®. PMI’s professional credentialing examination development processes stand apart from other project management certification examination development practices. PMI aligns its process with the certification industry’s best practices, such as those found in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing.

A key component of this process is that organizations wishing to offer valid and reliable professional credentialing examinations are directed to use a role delineation study (RDS) as the basis for the creation of the examination. This process utilizes knowledge and task driven guidelines to assess the practitioner’s competence, and determine the level of salience, criticality, and frequency of each of the knowledge, tasks, and skills required to perform to the industry-wide standard in the role of a business analysis professional.
