Over a career spanning 3 state agencies Alex has worn the hat of an environmental scientist, GIS analyst, software developer, project manager, and IT business analyst in addition to earning a Masters degree Computer Information Systems.

  Helen Linda, MSLIS, CBAP is a Continuous Improvement Program Manager with the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Performance and Strategic Initiatives Section in Montpelier, VT. The section leverages data and people to promote a culture continuous improvement at VTrans. She joined state government after an 18 year career as a systems and technical services librarian, discovering a love of business analysis and continuous improvement while stewarding records management projects at VTrans. She continued to hone those skills in the Agency of Digital Services as an IT Business Analyst, working on both Human Services and Transportation projects before returning to VTrans to practice business analysis with a broader scope than the IT perspective allowed. Helen is a life-long learner and sought business analysis certification because education combined with intuition and experience creates the most effective, nimble, and well-rounded change agents.

  Kayla Robinson, CCBA, CSM is an IT Business Analyst with Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. working with the State of Vermont Agency of Digital Services’ Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) on an 8-year, $9M software replacement project for the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans).

Kayla is a new member of the Bluegrass IIBA Chapter and recipient of her CCBA this year even though she has been serving in a business analyst role for more than 5 years. She has found that her certification has allowed to more confidently practice business analysis and gain the respect of her peers. She is eager to help others obtain their certifications in Business Analysis so they may experience the same benefits.

  C. Loadholt Scott, CBAP, AEMT is an IT Business Analyst with the State of Vermont Agency of Digital Services’ Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) in Waterbury, Vermont.

  See what past students of this Study Group are saying about it:

  

  "well organized and interactive. practice session was the best part" 

  "This is one of the best groups taking on review of the BABOK for exam taking, or for general business analysis knowledge refreshing, that I have found!"

  "Study group was a great experience. All participants shared their experience making it interesting and an amazing learning experience."

   

  "This study group forced me to read the BABOK in a timely manner, which I know I would have struggled with on my own. It didn't allow me to procrastinate or stop and start - it kept me on a good pace to absorb all of the information without taking too long."

   

  "The Bluegrass Chapter BABOK study group was an extremely valuable tool for me in successfully earning my CBAP."
