CBA (Other exams) case studies
CBA · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Certified Business Architect (CBA)® is a professional credential offered through the Business Architecture Guild®, the membership association behind the BIZBOK® Guide. The Guild describes certification as providing benefits across three levels: for the field itself, for the businesses that benefit from the practice, and for the individual practitioner. The CBA® is aimed at practitioners who want formal recognition of their command of the business architecture discipline and its body of knowledge, and at professionals preparing to apply that knowledge in their organizations. On the exam itself, this page cannot give you reliable numbers. The CBA case studies are 5 cases and about 3,258 words.
