If you are preparing for the ECBA exam πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ“ , I would recommend going through the underlying competencies from the BABOK first. Why?

The competencies provide a background on the qualities or skills you need to have or develop to be successful as a BA.


✳ Mastering these competencies will build a strong foundation of skills and will enhance your grasp in the technical areas from the BABOK.


✳ With a solid base in these competencies, you will be able to better understand how the knowledge areas can be applied in real world-scenarios.


✳ This approach will significantly boost your confidence and performance in the exam as well as in the practical tasks.

While preparing for the ECBA (CCBA and CBAP are no exception to this), knowing 'how to think' and 'how to communicate' effectively is equally critical as knowing 'what to think' and 'what to communicate'.
