Thanks to Linda Miller, CBAP, PMP for her help on this form. | |||
NOTE: This Excel spreadsheet assumes an average level of Excel expertise to use. | |||
WORKBOOK: | How to use this spreadsheet: | ||
Summary | Complete the Summary section and list and number each project you worked on. | ||
The number will help in cross-referencing to the other worksheets. | |||
Copy additional rows for each project you report on. | |||
Project Hours Section | |||
· You can look back over 10 years, and need 7500 hours of BA work on those projects. | |||
· For each project, list the BA hours you worked. | |||
· For example, if you worked 1000 hours on a project, and did 50 hours of PM-related work, and | |||
50 hours of QA work, you would list 900 in the "BA Activity Hours" cell. | |||
· The worksheet will total the hours for you. Be sure to blank out the example hours. | |||
Activities by KA Section - Hours | |||
· For each project, list the hours you spent on each Knowledge Area for the BA activities you performed. | |||
· You do not need hours in 4 KAs for every project, but you will need the 900+ hours in at least 4 KAs | |||
among all your projects. You need to have 900+ hours in at least 4 of the KAs to qualify. | |||
· Check the total on the bottom to make sure you have 900+ hours in at least 4 of the 6 KAs. | |||
Activities by KA Section - Percentages | |||
· For each project, the percentages spent on each Knowledge Area for the BA activities of a project | |||
will be calculated. The percentages should total 100% for each project. | |||
· The worksheet will total the KAs, so you will know when you have reached 100%. | |||
· You do not need 4 KAs per project, but you will need experience in at least 4 KAs among all your projects. | |||
Projects | For each project, list the information asked for. The online CBAP application requests all this information. | ||
· If any data is optional, it is listed as "Opt." on the worksheet. If a contact has left the organization, | |||
and you don’t have a replacement contact name, we recommend listing a generic phone number and | |||
email address for the organization. IIBA will use this to reach your contacts if the audit your application. | |||
· Estimate the number of hours per task within each Knowledge Area. The tasks you have hours for will | |||
be the tasks you check on the CCBA application. | |||
· Expand the column widths as needed to add your data. | |||
· Use one worksheet per project and add additional worksheets as needed. | |||
NOTE | Pass this template on to friends and colleagues who want to apply for the CBAP credential. | ||
