The final knowledge area in the BABOK guide is Solution Evaluation. This area focuses on the tasks business analysts perform to assess the value delivered by a solution and recommend actions to address barriers and maximize value delivery.
This knowledge area includes five key tasks:
Measure Solution Performance
Analyze Performance Measures
Assess Solution Limitations
Assess Enterprise Limitations
Recommend Actions to Increase Solution Value
As the last knowledge area in the BABOK guide, it’s important to remember:
There are six knowledge areas in total, which group the 30 tasks business analysts perform.
These knowledge areas and tasks are not sequential. Business analysts should evaluate the context and choose the tasks and knowledge areas that will add the most value.
Not all six knowledge areas or all 30 tasks will be required in every initiative—they are context-specific.
Tasks within an initiative are often recurring and may need to be repeated as the context evolves and changes occur.
