If AI can hand anyone the answers, what does a certification really prove?For this episode we took Business Analysis Live! on the road and recorded it, on stage, in front of a live audience at the IIBA Poland Summit in Warsaw on Oct 6th. I brought together four guests from four disciplines that are adjacent to business analysis work: project management, requirements engineering, testing and the Microsoft tech stack. Then I asked them the question I hear more than any other right now. Is certification still worth it?And I didn’t want this to be a conversation about whether you should get IIBA certified. I wanted a real conversation about where certification really stands in proving your skills, whatever your discipline.I expected a debate, but what I got was more nuanced and interesting. Four people from four different perspectives, but they kept coming back to a similar place, just not where you’d think! And we did get honest: what’s worth certifying in our work? And if your work speaks for itself, do you need a certification at all? Listen in, then tell me where you stand. How do you prove your skills?🎙️Episode Highlights• What a certification proves in the age of AI• Shared language and why it matters for collaboration• Knowledge vs. application vs. experience• Open-book exams and where the learning goes• What employers read into your certifications• How to choose the “right” certification• One certification, several, or none?• Unlearning, and whether certifications are worth sustaining🔗 Resources
