So this what the BA Body of Knowledge is all about. Glad I now know.

Glad I took this before writing the CBAP Exam. 
Reviewer: Danny from OnTime Consulting

I’m considering sitting the CBAP exam and there isn’t a lot of information on the subject out there currently. This short tutorial certainly laid the ground work for my study areas. Thanks for the prep!
