Rehearse the business analysis exam with full-length timed simulations, from needs assessment to evaluation, and an explanation for every option.
The PMI-PBA is for experienced business analysts who work on projects and programs. It covers the whole life of a requirement: finding the real need, planning the analysis, eliciting and modelling, tracing and controlling change, and checking the solution delivers.
Questions are scenario-based and cover both plan-driven and adaptive business analysis. The simulator weights them like the exam, with the most questions on analysis.
