Team certification

Standardize BA documentation across every project and team.

BADS gives your organization a single, enterprise-ready documentation standard for business analysis. From certification cohorts to enterprise adoption, we help PMOs, COEs, and product organizations bring consistency to requirements, user stories, and functional specifications.

Standard BADS certification investment: $199 per analyst. Volume pricing available for teams of 10+.

Why organizations adopt the BADS standard

Documentation is often the quiet bottleneck in delivery. BADS gives you a shared language, structure, and expectations for every analyst, project, and vendor partner.

Consistent, reusable documentation

Replace one-off templates and tribal knowledge with a governed standard that flexes across delivery models.

  • Common structure for requirements and functional specs
  • Reduced rework from incomplete inputs
  • Faster onboarding for new analysts and partners

Audit readiness and traceability

Make it easy to demonstrate how decisions were made, requirements were validated, and changes were approved.

  • Clear lineage from business need to delivered change
  • Documentation suitable for internal/external audit
  • Better alignment with policy and compliance

Stronger IT and vendor alignment

Give delivery teams the information they need in a format they can trust and act on quickly.

  • Fewer clarification cycles
  • Cleaner handoffs from business to technology
  • Better scope confidence and test coverage

Programs for teams and enterprises

Whether you’re piloting BADS with a single team or rolling it out broadly, these programs give you a clear path.
