&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: windowtext; font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Conclusively,
most of us who are motivated to become a CBAP and are looking for some path to be
followed in order to attempt the CBAP examination. So here we are, this article
is meant for everybody who is looking for the clear path or road map to become

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;However, if
you already know &quot;how to apply and what to study for CBAP exam&quot; but still
not able to appear in exam, then my article on “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://abubakarmunawar.blogspot.com/2012/06/cbap-yet-start-preparing-get-certified.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000cc;&quot;&gt;CBAP Yet?

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;







&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Let’s
start from 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; part “How to Apply For CBAP Exam?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Following are the steps for CBAP Application
&amp;amp; Exam Process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Applying
for CBAP Exam (CBAP Exam Application)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Paying
for CBAP Exam Application&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Registering
For Exam (Paying for CBAP Exam Fee)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Preparing
For The Exam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Taking
the Online Exam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Applying for CBAP exam is the hardest step,
not because of its complexity, but because it’s a first step. So first thing
first, there is&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;no fees for filling the
CBAP Application&lt;/b&gt;, you can fill the application, identify the professional references
without paying any fees, but your application will be pending until you pay the
application fees. So that is the point to start, as there are no risks, so just
fill the application and make sure your experience &amp;amp; qualification is in match with the IIBA requirements. Following is the link to CBAP Application Form&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www10.iiba.org/source/iiba_cbap/signup.cfm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;http://www10.iiba.org/source/iiba_cbap/signup.cfm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Further you can &lt;b&gt;apply for CBAP exam without buying IIBA membership&lt;/b&gt; as application
fee (125$) for Member &amp;amp; Non member is same. Once you applied for exam after
filling the examination fee, IIBA takes 1 week to confirm you whether your
application is successful or not. Once it is successful, you will have 1 year from
that date to pay the exam fee (325$ for Members &amp;amp; 450$ for Non Members) to appear in the exam,
whereas I would suggest to buy the membership first to save 75$ (as for
Pakistan and most of the Asian countries the membership fee is 50$).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Before applying for CBAP Exam Application, make
sure that you should:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;







&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Have minimum 7500 Hours of
BA Work experience aligned with BABOK Guide in last 10 year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Here 7500 Hours refers to approximately &lt;b&gt;3 years of working experience&lt;/b&gt;, which should
be directly aligned to Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), which means
you should have applied the tasks &amp;amp; techniques that are mentioned in BABOK.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Further, while filling the application, you have to &lt;b&gt;segregate your total experience in an organization&lt;/b&gt; in term of
percentage allocated to each knowledge area of BABOK (BA Planning &amp;amp;
Monitoring, Elicitation, Requirements Management &amp;amp; Communication, Enterprise
Analysis, Requirement Analysis, and Solution Assessment &amp;amp; Validation), e.g. if you have worked for 1000 hours in a company on different projects, then you need to segregate, how much time you have spent on each knowledge area in terms of percentage. Also you need to identify the tasks that you have done in your experience for each
knowledge area, and this is a little tricky part &lt;b&gt;as in CBAP Online Application Form, there are some tasks given which&amp;nbsp;doesn&#39;t&amp;nbsp; pertains with Business Analysis&lt;/b&gt; Body of
Knowledge and if you click on these to mention that you did those tasks in your
experience, then the &lt;b&gt;relevant portion of
the experience will be deducted from your overall total experience&lt;/b&gt;. E.g. created
service level agreements, created project charter, develop test cases and others
are not considered as BA Tasks and if you mention them they will impact your
overall count of experience. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Following excel sheet will help you in
identifying those areas which are not relevant to business analysis and should
not be identified in experience while filling CBAP Exam Application.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Here one important point that need to be notes,
is after filling the experience in term of number of hours and segregating the
same into knowledge areas and identify which tasks is each knowledge area you
did in your experience, you have to make sure that total number of hours for
overall experience are minimum 900 for at least 4 knowledge areas i.e. &lt;b&gt;in your overall experience you should have at-least
900 hours of experience in at-least 4 knowledge areas&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Following excels sheet will help you in
filling the experience part of your application&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

(&lt;b&gt;Red &lt;/b&gt;tasks are &lt;b&gt;irrelevant &lt;/b&gt;to BA, &lt;b&gt;Orange &lt;/b&gt;are s&lt;b&gt;ome what related&lt;/b&gt; and Yellow are &lt;b&gt;BA related&lt;/b&gt;, whereas &lt;b&gt;unfilled / white&lt;/b&gt; tasks are also BA &lt;b&gt;Concerns&lt;/b&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;You should be high school passed out in order
to apply, whereas graduation is not required as well as not experience deduction
as well. i.e. if you worked for total 10 years and did your graduation after 5
years of experience, in that case your experience will be considered for 10
years (non deductable)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 10.0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;







&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Fulfills Professional

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;You should have attended a Business Analysis Training
of &lt;b&gt;24 hours&lt;/b&gt; (minimum) &lt;b&gt;in last 4 years&lt;/b&gt;. But there is no
requirement of 24 hours of single training, i.e. if you have attended 2
trainings of 12 hours each, it will be considered as 24 hours in total, the
only point is it should be relevant to the role of Business Analyst or its
underlying competencies as per BABOK last chapter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Trainings related to CBAP preparation, or any
training that is directly link with business analysis skills are accounted for
training hours, whether it is internal or external. E.g. if you attended a
course of Microsoft Visio for Process Modeling or MS Project 2010, which is conducted
internally in your organization, you can add this in your education requirement
and same will be considered. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;You should provide details of 2 professional references
(email, phone &amp;amp; mailing address). As you will be filling the CBAP Exam
Application and whenever you will define the Professional References, email
will be sent to the individual with a link of online website (survey type) which
will consist of some basic business analysis skills &amp;amp; experience related
ranking, and the references individual need to rate you on those skills. As
they will submit their responses you will be able to see the same as completed
on your CBAP Application screen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Once your CBAP Exam Application is approved by
the IIBA you can appear in exam within 1 year the date of application approval.
My suggestion would be to pay the exam fee as you receive the application approval
and schedule the exam in 2 months time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;First
thing is to study Business Analysis Body of Knowledge&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, if you are
member of IIBA you can download the BABOK from downloads area of members. I
would suggest to read this book at-least twice before going for any other book,
read the book in a way to understand major concepts of how each input is link
with tasks and how tasks are linked with techniques and how techniques are
linked with outputs and how specific techniques can be applied in different scenarios.&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Mind
Maps are very effective tool to memorize&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the relationship between “Knowledge
Area, Inputs, Tasks, Techniques and Outputs). The best Mind Map CBAP Preparation
I have found so far is by “Brain Hunt Consulting” you can search and download
the same for free on internet or download the same from shared folder on our yahoo
group. My recommendation is to print out those important maps and paste in your
study room &amp;nbsp;(where you will be spending
two hours daily as per my previous article of “&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://abubakarmunawar.blogspot.com/2012/06/cbap-yet-start-preparing-get-certified.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0000cc;&quot;&gt;CBAP Yet? Start Preparing &amp;amp; Get Certified&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;”. Looking at those mind maps frequently
really helps are a lot in clarifying the relationships &amp;amp; understanding the
core concept.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Further, read the book “CBAP
Certification Study Guide by Susan Weese &amp;amp; Terri Wagner”&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This book is highly recommended for CBAP
Exam preparation and consists of everything that you need to pass the exam. It consists
of practical problems and sample exam questions that will give you an excellent
head start. The book is completely aligned with the following exam pattern
(Knowledge area and percentage of questions that will be appear in exam)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

would recommend taking 3 days off from your work and starting 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; review
of BABOK before 2 days of exam. Don’t worry, by that time you will be enough prepared
for the examination. As recommended earlier you should pay the exam fee just
after getting approval on Exam application to make the ball rolling. Further you
have to schedule the schedule the exam online through Prometric Center’s
website. You have to schedule your exam &lt;b&gt;minimum&lt;/b&gt;
1 month before (due to some local policies of Prometric centers). Choose the
nearest possible location and visit 2 days before the examination to make sure
that you know the exact location and different ways &amp;amp; modes to reach in
case of any contingency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After almost 6 months of pause in
communicating with Business Analysts of Pakistan. In last week when I asked a
question “Have you got Certified?” to several people who has attended my Business
Analysis Course, I got the answer &lt;b&gt;NO&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
And as a Business Analyst I asked &lt;b&gt;WHY&lt;/b&gt;? And following were some of the comments
I received on that question;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo2; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;After
a tough routine of office&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;&amp;amp; home not
able to spare time for preparation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Every
weekend I promise myself to initiate the study from next week but every time something
pop up and I got distracted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;I
tried several time by opening a book on computer and even printed copy but was
not able to get through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;There
is so much to read, what to start first and how to go for it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
So, I tried to analyze the road blocks in
preparing for Certified Business Analysis Professional Certification&lt;b&gt; (CBAP)&lt;/b&gt; and came up with following root causes;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Lack
of Motivation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Lack
of Time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Lack
of Concentration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Lack
of Efforts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Lack
of Will&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Don’t
know what &amp;amp; how to study and how to apply for CBAP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;I have
not considered financial aspect as no one has reported and also I believe that
if someone wants to get certified the above mentioned root causes are more
important than financial feasibility.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
All the above mentioned root causes are highly
integrated and have collateral impact on one another. &amp;nbsp;In order to get certified the entire root
causes need to be taken care of. Let’s analyze the root causes one by one and
see how we can overcome each one of them to become CBAP.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Lack
of Motivation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
We might be thinking that, we are already motivated
to become a CBAP. Then why we are not attempting? Because there is another
thing then motivation and is called, Affection. We want to become a CBAP
because we like to be one, and that is not enough to motivate us to make the
ball rolling. So what is required to be highly motivated to enable us to
attempt for CBAP? According to Steven Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”
in which he mentioned that “Start with end in mind.” and that is the thing
required to make us motivated enough to attempt. Consider asking following
questions from yourself to create the motivation (and record the answer on a
paper for first 4 questions).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Why
you want to become a CBAP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;What
is stopping you to become a CBAP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;What
benefit it will bring to personal life or personality (honor, prestige, satisfaction,
success)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;What
benefit it will bring to professional life (promotion, better opportunities, recognitions)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;What
will be your feeling when you come of exam center as a Qualified CBAP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Lack
of Time&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After answering to the questions of
Motivation, all you need is schedule 1 hour (for 2 days) and 2 hours (for rest)
per day, starting from today. Try to arrange the time of evening after your
work and dinner. Try to make it simple e.g. don’t try to look for some library
place which will take you another month to find. Don’t worry just schedule the
time and see the magic of Motivation &amp;amp; Concentration&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Lack
of Concentration&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Right now if you are thinking that you have a
problem of Concentration &amp;amp; Focus i.e. you cannot focus on something for a
long time especially books, let me tell you that research prove that every
human being have this problem, so you are not the only one facing this
challenge. All of us have this issue and it can be improve. According to the
article of Mind Tools on “Self Mastery”, concentration &amp;amp; focus comes with
practice. So may be when you are trying to read the book, you cannot sit more
than ½ hour and get bored or sleepy, don’t be worried and try to improve your
concentration by little increase e.g. try to sit the maximum time you can and
read the book and note the time you spend, next day try to sit for more time than
before, this way you can increase your concentration &amp;amp; focus from ½ hour to
2 hours &amp;amp; then 3 hours per day. Also consider reminding yourself on
following before starting your studies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo4; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Concentration
&amp;amp; Focus is in your hand and you can improve it by practicing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;What
is stopping you to become a CBAP?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;

Lack
of Efforts &amp;amp; Will&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Once you are aware of your motivation,
scheduled time to study, trying to concentrate, it is enough to prove that you
are putting efforts &amp;amp; you have generated high power of Will to achieve it.
But you also have to remember the Concept of &lt;b&gt;Will Curve&lt;/b&gt;, according to Mind Tools article on “The Flow Model”,
the will power of an individual for some goal decreases as the time passes. Therefore,
you have to get the maximum benefits out of your initial Will (i.e. before your
Will start decreasing). If the initial stage of Will is used properly, it
creates the stage for the Goal you set and even after decrease in Will you can
carry on with the motivation to achieve the goal. Try doing the following to
get maximum benefit of your initial Will:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo5; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Create
a routine for reading by seating maximum hours possible every day (2 - 3 hours).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Tell
your family, friends &amp;amp; colleagues that you are preparing and you will be attempting
the CBAP in next 2(x) months&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Update
your Linked In Status as “Preparing for CBAP”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; text-indent: -0.25in;&quot;&gt;Put
a stick note on your computer screen saying “Prepare for CBAP Daily”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-line-height-alt: 0pt; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Point # 6 “&lt;b&gt;Don’t know what &amp;amp; how to study
and how to apply for CBAP&lt;/b&gt;” will be covered in detail with help material in next

&lt;br /&gt;
While going through the Oracle Technical forums, I have been seeing many queries related to Running Oracle 10g forms on Windows Vista &amp;amp; Windows 7, as J-initiator is not supported on both of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of my colleague has implemented the solution. Attached is the zip file containing read-me file &amp;amp; a setup of JRE, go through the read-me file and install JRE to run oracle 10g forms on Windows Vista or 7.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Dear All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is a very important topic for all who are working with Oracle Developer. While my working with Plexus, one of our most valuable resouce Mr. Waseem Khan - Technical Manager @ Plexus Private Limited, was assigned to a task to develop a bi-lingual application along with migrate data of AS 400 into Oracle 10g.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was assigned to that task, because he is the best expert available who have done the AS 400 migration of very large database of House Mortgage System before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He have succesfully develop a good bi-lingual solution along with Bi-Lingual data migration from AS 400 to Oracle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He have shared his valuable experience in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://ifile.it/id40t9u&quot;&gt;presentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope it will be helpful to all of you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would like to congrats Mr. Waseem for the achievement and Thank him for sharing his valuable knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;

Below is the detail discussion by Adriana Beal &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: yellow; color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x--------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There&#39;s so many people in this group with a great deal of experience in this area, so I thought this question would generate a rich discussion here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m about to start a project that has the intention of &quot;rescuing&quot; a new extranet feature that automates a workflow based on an external client&#39;s request that is currently handled manually by the internal team. The feature has been defined by people who are no longer in the organization, and is already coded. I need to validate the requirements with the current stakeholders, and identify eventual changes that may be required to fulfill business and stakeholder needs before the enhancement goes live (assume that the external client&#39;s interface won&#39;t change, only the internal handling of the request). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plenty of documentation was created in the beginning of the project, including use cases and data models, in addition to other technical documents. I was told that the new stakeholders refused to look at these documents, as they are too long or too technical for them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Considering that the project requires formal sign off on the requirements from stakeholders from different areas (customer service, operations, compliance) so the solution can be finalized, tested and implemented, what would you do to facilitate the validation process? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(By the way, this article by Laura Brandau:                                         &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebridging-the-gap%2Ecom%2Fhow-to-align-stakeholders-around-project-scope-without-a-review-and-sign-off-process%2F&amp;amp;urlhash=OWfm&amp;amp;_t=disc_detail_link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.bridging-the-gap.com/how-to-align-stakeholders-around-project-scope-without-a-review-and-sign-off-process/&lt;/a&gt; already provides excellent advice applicable to this situation, but I am curious to learn which particular strategies may have worked for you in the past or you would be likely to try under these circumstances). &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: yellow; color: red; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x---------x--------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There were many replies, I will recommend to read them all from LinkedIn. But the suggestion I like most is from Mr. Gary Smith, and in the addition of Adrina to that suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Mr. Gary Smith Suggestion&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1. I would read all of the originally produced documents - use cases, data models, requirements docs, technical specifications, UI definition docs, etc... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Since there is working code, I would then sit with the code and correlate what was implemented with what was specified/requested and I would produce a gap analysis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. I would then call a checkpoint meeting with the stakeholders where I would present a summary of the original requirements (that nobody read) as well as the gap analysis. In this meeting I would push to obtain concensus on the original requirement summary and the identified gaps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. Following the checkpoint, I would determine what was required to close any identified gaps that remain of concern with the &quot;enhanced/rescue&quot; goals. Verify management&#39;s commitment to continuing and layout a new schedule to get the job done. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. With a new plan in hand and management&#39;s buy-in I would reconvene a meeting with the stakeholders to identify the course correction and obtain their buy-in (or negotiate an agreed upon solution that everyone could live with). &lt;/span&gt;          &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: yellow; color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ms. Adreana&#39;s Addition to Gary&#39;s Suggestion&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;Gary, your plan is very similar to what I&#39;m planning to do! The only thing I would add is a one-on-one conversation with each stakeholder before step #3, since in my experience it provides a great opportunity to establish rapport with the stakeholders and allow them to express opinions that they might be reluctant to express in front of the others. Thanks for sharing your list of steps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;u style=&quot;background-color: yellow; color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;And at last, Abubakar Munawar&#39;s ( my )Suggestion to handle the situation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;I like Grey&#39;s advice and Adriana&#39;s add on to that advice about 1 to 1 meeting with stakeholders, it was very good point of view by Scott to identify the gap with current requirement first, rather than doing the solution assessment &amp;amp; validation in that case. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;I would like to add a small suggestion to that discussion, if that was the situation to me &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;I would also include the Sponsor [Client Company&#39;s Executive, to which the solution will help in achieving strategic goal]&lt;/span&gt;. I must have update him about the situation along with the chances of identification of Gap in currently developed solution [that will lead to extra effort / rework and will cost extra as well], I also have update the sponsor about the disputes that will come in the way during gap and should have ask for his contribution in resolution of those disputes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;Actually, as we are external consultants we should have a very clear understanding of completing project, in most of the cases; new users reject the most of the requirements given by previous users and try to give you the same requirement in other new ways. Good BAs can handle this, but it really costs time. If the sponsor is in confidence and knows that disputes will arise, than he will must act in some way to help External BA achieving the solution in effective way, because its his objective that is linked to that solution. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;

A BS Final Year student query about the projects that the professionals recommends for final year project, project that worth in real world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the article might help someone else looking for the answer to related queries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------- x ------------ x ----------- x ------------------ x ---------------- x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I classify Software Development in 3 major categories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1230787949_0&quot;&gt;Web Application&lt;/span&gt; - eCommerce Solution&lt;br /&gt;2. Business Application - Business Process Automation&lt;br /&gt;3. System &amp;amp; Other Utilities - &lt;span class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1230787949_1&quot;&gt;Content Management Systems&lt;/span&gt; / Other Automation Tools ACDSee etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, you have to decide in which category you want to go. The decision will base on your area of interest &amp;amp; the Team size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;For Web Application - eCommerce:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;you can work on eSchool, there are some software in the market for your reference. I recommend eSchool because in future more investment will be done in this sector.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;For Business Application - Business Process Automation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;You should develop software to support Real Estate Investment Portfolio &amp;amp; &lt;span style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot; class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1230787949_2&quot;&gt;Construction Management&lt;/span&gt;. Because of easy access to real estate market every 5th person was investing in the property without realizing the decision making criteria. During the financial crisis, you will see the property melt down will effect real estate &amp;amp; construction business, which will result in more requirement of comprehensive Real Estate Portfolio Management System to generate accurate decision report whether to invest @ what price. Other than that, because of high fluctuation of raw material, construction companies often suffer from over budgets, which increases overheads and decreases profit. There is a great need of software in market, which can produce buying pattern for required project.&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For System &amp;amp; Other Utilities:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;There is a need in market of &lt;span style=&quot;border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;&quot; class=&quot;yshortcuts&quot; id=&quot;lw_1230787949_3&quot;&gt;Mobile GPS&lt;/span&gt;, which is accessible from every mobile to show where are you right now and can show the shortest path to reach the destination and guide thought the way. There are many efforts done in the market in regards, but because of infrastructure uncertainty (damage roads, closed roads without information) these software failed, I must say these were premature entries. But now when the infrastructure in maturing this software may LIVE with some extra efforts and coordination of CDGK. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For any queries, please feel free to ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abubakar Munawar.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abubakarmunawar.blogspot.com/feeds/8449654712993254107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://abubakarmunawar.blogspot.com/2008/12/for-students-exploring-ideas-of-final.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9219010513283557568/posts/default/8449654712993254107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9219010513283557568/posts/default/8449654712993254107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abubakarmunawar.blogspot.com/2008/12/for-students-exploring-ideas-of-final.html' title='For students exploring the ideas of final year projects'/><author><name>Abubakar Munawar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07789301338867016218</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf__EfESvXxdmTpbeUBfu1rvQmhvvldOJNSW_iCt7q4tW8rv7x8WC6Tj2DM3GPvWECOHqV0D8qCoq5PH75vZKnIIt74xU7kqQcgP7jfGEC1b-Yrw7jJYj6ofeD-jqyYg/s220/12x16.GIF'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
