PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:

Business analysis is a vital instrument within the business environment to ensure that information technology is able to provide effective solutions for business enterprises. The development of business analysts through a suite of qualifications will have a positive impact on the broader economy of South Africa. It will also assist with bringing South Africa inline with international trends and satisfy industry requirements.

The qualifying learner will be able to:
  • Analyse a business scenario.
  • Develop a business case.
  • Compile user requirement specifications.
  • Develop functional specifications.
  • Monitor quality assurance activities throughout the life cycle of the project.

    Rationale:

    A business analyst works as a liaison amongst stakeholders in order to elicit, analyse, communicate and validate requirements for changes to business processes, policies and information systems. The business analyst understands business problems and opportunities in the context of the requirements and recommends solutions that enable the organisation to achieve its goals. Traditionally business analysts were drawn from senior information technology (IT) and business people, whereas this qualification provides lower level access for the development of such competencies. It has also been developed to enable learners to access higher education and provide flexible access to life-long learning.

    This qualification provides opportunities for people to engage in further learning towards a specialisation in business analysis or achieve competencies that are portable to other specialisations such as systems development or systems support. This will therefore enable business analysis competencies to be strengthened, and enable individuals who are currently working in a business systems environment, to better contribute to the implementation of solutions that support the business requirements. The competencies of business analysis have been identified as a target development area for the ICT sector and the South African government. The demand for this qualification is evidenced by these National initiatives as well as international demands and trends. It is intended to empower learners to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values required to operate confidently as individuals in the South African community and to respond to the challenges of the economic environment and changing world of work. Ultimately, this qualification is aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency of business analysts within all sectors in South Africa.

    INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The choice of selected countries in comparative information:

    In order to ensure a valid international comparability study three categories of counties were identified: developed countries (United States of America, New Zealand, Australia and England); developing countries outside of Africa (Brazil, India, Turkey, Singapore); and African countries (Nigeria, Egypt, Botswana, Namibia, Ghana and Mauritius).

    The inherent multi-disciplinary nature of business analysis makes international comparability challenging because of the various facets that such a qualification can cover. In many of the instances in the African countries, business analysis training takes on the format of high-impact short courses with very limited long-term learning taking place. In some of the developing countries outside of Africa more long-term qualifications in business analysis are offered which allow for a more thorough comparison. The most useful comparison that could be made was with the developed countries, which have well-developed programmes in business analysis. Internationally recognised best practices in business analysis represented by bodies such as the International Institute for Business Analysis (IIBA) and the British Computer Society (BCS) were also compared.

    African countries:

    Qualification standards in Nigeria, Egypt, Botswana, Namibia, Ghana and Mauritius were examined but only Nigeria was found to have any qualification standards and these were not directly comparable to this business analysis qualification. There are many tertiary institutions throughout Africa that offer qualifications that include business analysis related topics, but these are typically included in a limited way in general Information Technology, Computer Science and Information Systems curricula. Business Analysis is taught in these institutions but no African countries have extracted these into unit standards.

    Developing countries outside of Africa:

    Most of the information in the developing countries outside of Africa were hard to come by and relates mostly to post-graduate studies. Brazil, India, Turkey, Singapore were examined to find whether they had any business analysis qualification standards. No standards were found to be in place specific to business analysis as the business analysis discipline is usually included with other IT related qualifications.

    Developed countries:

    United States of America, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom were examined to find comparable business analysis qualifications.

    USA:

    Business Analysis qualification standards in the USA and Canada are primarily governed by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) which is discussed in the International Best Practices section below.

    Australia:

    Australia is by far the most advanced country in terms of offering structured qualifications relating to Business Analysis in a multi-disciplinary environment. Business
    Analysis can be found in the following nationally registered qualification:
  • ICA50399 Diploma of Information Technology (Business Analysis).

    New Zealand:

    New Zealand does not have any business analysis qualification standard but does have several unit standards in place in their various IT diploma qualifications that cover the business analysis discipline and are comparable to this qualification.

    England:

    Business Analysis qualification standards in the United Kingdom are defined by the British Computer Society (BCS) which is discussed in the International Best Practices section below.

    International Best Practice:

    Business analysis is a relatively new discipline. International best practice in business analysis is best exemplified by certain internationally recognised organisations. These include:

    The International Institute of Business Analysis - IIBA (www.theiiba.org):

    The IIBA mission is: "To develop and maintain standards for the practice of Business Analysis and for the certification of its practitioners". It has formulated a Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) which defines the best practices and skills required by a professional business analyst. They have also formulated a certification known as Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP). This organisation was chosen for comparison purposes as it is increasingly becoming the internationally recognised standard for defining business analysis activities and skills. It has chapters in more than 90 countries worldwide including USA, UK, Australia, SA, Nigeria, Brazil, India, Turkey, Singapore and Egypt.

    The British Computer Society - BCS (www.bcs.org):

    Technology education in the UK, outside the universities, has primarily been delegated to the BCS. This organisation is a leading professional body for those working in the IT profession. They have over 60000 members in more than 100 countries including UK, USA, Canada, Singapore, Pakistan and Mauritius. Their qualifications are controlled by the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB). The ISEB have 2 business analysis qualifications which are directly comparable to this qualification discussed in the table below.

    The Nigerian Computer Society - NCS (www.ncs.org.ng):

    The NCS is a professional body formed in Nigeria with a specified goal being: "advancement of Computer Science and Information Technology & Systems, their applications and deployments to Professional Practice in education". Their IT related qualification standards are not directly comparable to this qualification as they include the business analysis discipline is included in more general IT qualifications.

    Business analysis is taught throughout the world and many short programs exist and are offered by universities, private training providers, adult education providers, business schools and in-house at major companies. However business analysis is a fairly new discipline in the Information Technology industry and for this reason there are not many registered qualifications that deal specifically with business analysis. The most widely recognised business analysis qualification is the IIBA CBAP and this qualification compares very favourably with CBAP.
