Over the past months since the October 2005 previous release we have gatheredfeedback and input from many business analysis practitioners through a structuredfeedback process. Each reviewer in that process was pre-screened to ensure theyrepresented practitioners with at least 3-5 years experience. Their feedback was used bythe Knowledge Area sub-committees to refine our content. We extend a huge thank-youto each reviewer for taking the time to help in the ongoing creation of the BusinessAnalysis Body of Knowledge.We also heard from many IIBA members and potential members who informallyreviewed the previous version. Rest assured your comments and ideas sparked manydiscussions among the core team or sub-committees. Your support and enthusiasm havebeen critical is helping us maintain focus and momentum. Thank you!P.2 What is and is not in this releaseThis release includes: An updated introductory chapter including an updated definition of the businessanalyst role, and a definition of requirements types.
