The Agile business analysis and requirements community is rich in the diversity of its knowledge and experience. The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) is developing an Agile extension to the Business Analysis Book of Knowledge (BABOK) to reflect Agile working practices, knowledge, skills, and competencies.

The intent of the community group here is to create a business analysis and requirements knowledgebase (resource), gathering the knowledge and experience of those active in Agile business analysis and requirements, for the wider business analysis and Agile communities, and to support IIBA's Agile Business Analysis team incorporating the knowledgebase into the BABOK.

This activity may (or may not) also become an Agile Alliance programme.

After we have completed an initial version of the knowledgebase, the group will evolve into a virtual community for Agile business analysis and requirements. For now, the group is intended to support people adopting Agile techniques.

Over the next six months, we aim to develop:
• an introduction to Agile practices for business analysts;
• an overview of business analysis for Agile practitioners;
• a statement of the typical working practices followed by Agile business analysts; and
• an overview of the roles, skills, and competencies needed - especially those that may be new to many business analysts.

The knowledgebase is maintained on a wiki at http://agileba.pbworks.com/. To become a member of the wiki contact the moderators of this group.
