A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) is a guide about business analysis, issued by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), attempting to reflect current best practice and to provide a framework that describes the areas of knowledge, with associated activities and tasks and techniques required.^[1]

According to Capability Maturity Model Integration, organisations interested in process improvement should adopt industry standards from the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (and other associated references) to lift their project delivery from the ad hoc to the managed level.^[2]
