Retirement time is near for BABOK® V2
According to a report by the BBC, the latest version of the BABOK® by IIBA is going to release in mid-April. However, the exam based on the latest version won’t be immediately in effect. Project Management Training and Certification Courses, it will come into effect at least six months after the release of a new version, i.e. BABOK® V3. Although, introduction of new version brings latest updates; it might not be of much benefit to the Business Analyst professionals preparing to take the CBAP exam based on BABOK® V2. Preparation for a CBAP certification is not an easy task, one needs to go through rigorous planning and training.
Hence, some of the disadvantages of BABOK® V3 from the perspective of a person, who is planning to undertake BABOK® V2 based CBAP exam, are:

- More syllabus: With the new release, come new features, concepts, and enhancements. In short, you need to study more for getting a good score.
- More cost: You have already bought study material, such as study guides or other preparatory stuff and preparing for them. Now, with the release of the latest version, you need to have the latest material for giving CBAP exam based on BABOK® V3.
- More time: As already said that a good preparation consumes time. In case, if you are not giving CBAP exam now, then your CBAP title will once again go far from you because surely you will take some time to prepare as per the new version.
- Outdated content: As soon as the new version releases, the BABOK® V2 will automatically become outdated and old. So, in order to preserve what you have learnt; take the CBAP exam as soon as possible.
