During each of the six business analysis knowledge areas from The PMI Guide To Business Analysis and the five domains identified in the PMI-PBA® Examination Content Outline, you will be continuously exposed to review questions to reinforce the information reviewed during the lecture and discussion portions. These review questions are comparable to the types of questions you will experience on the actual exam. This course has aligned the thirty-five Business Analysis Processes, the six Business Analysis Process Groups, the five Business Analysis Domains, and the forty Knowledge and Skills within the six Business Analysis Knowledge Areas to help you understand how they interrelate.
