INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks to Linda Miller, CBAP, PMP for her help on this form.
NOTE: This Excel spreadsheet assumes an average level of Excel expertise to use.
WORKBOOK: How to use this spreadsheet:

Complete the Summary section and list and number each project you worked on.
Summary
The number will help in cross-referencing to the other worksheets.
Copy additional rows for each project you report on.
Project Hours Section
You can look back over 10 years, and need 7500 hours of BA work on those projects.
For each project, list the BA hours you worked.
For example, if you worked 1000 hours on a project, and did 50 hours of PM-related work, and
50 hours of QA work, you would list 900 in the "BA Activity Hours" cell.
The worksheet will total the hours for you. Be sure to blank out the example hours.
Activities by KA Section - Hours

For each project, list the hours you spent on each Knowledge Area for the BA activities you performed.
You do not need hours in 4 KAs for every project, but you will need the 900+ hours in at least 4 KAs
among all your projects. You need to have 900+ hours in at least 4 of the KAs to qualify.
Check the total on the bottom to make sure you have 900+ hours in at least 4 of the 6 KAs.
Activities by KA Section - Percentages

For each project, the percentages spent on each Knowledge Area for the BA activities of a project
will be calculated. The percentages should total 100% for each project.
The worksheet will total the KAs, so you will know when you have reached 100%.
You do not need 4 KAs per project, but you will need experience in at least 4 KAs among all your projects.
Projects
For each project, list the information asked for. The online CBAP application requests all this information.
If any data is optional, it is listed as "Opt." on the worksheet. If a contact has left the organization,
and you dont have a replacement contact name, we recommend listing a generic phone number and
email address for the organization. IIBA will use this to reach your contacts if the audit your application.
Estimate the number of hours per task within each Knowledge Area. The tasks you have hours for will
be the tasks you check on the CCBA application.
Expand the column widths as needed to add your data.
Use one worksheet per project and add additional worksheets as needed.
