Read BABOK on Google books (for free)

Posted by
Google books has the BABOK available for free online reading.

I think this is a great idea from the guys at the IIBA.  Congratulations IIBA on sharing knowledge rather than restricting it to those that can afford to join the club.  It highlights the altruistic nature of the organisation.

  1. Nice one, I've found it incredibly beneficial in my role as too often BA's are "not trained" they fall into the trap on just focussing on tasks rather than understanding conceptually what outcomes they are trying to deliver.

  2. Seems to me to only be a limited view, cutting the number of pages you can read, even though it says full view. I can't see pages 102-115 for instance.
    Altruistic, my arse.

  3. Please look again, Peter. The full content is in fact available.

  5. This is not the BABOK. this is only a hundred page users' guide. The actual BABOK itself is a library.
