 On June 19th, 2008, we released the second issue of our course Software Project Management Fundamentals. This time it was a real success - the training hall was full and we lacked enough chairs.

This time there was a big interest in project management theory and practices not only among software development companies but also among companies providing internet services, media companies, and even construction companies! We were very flattered at such interest.

On June 26, 2008, at 18:30 a meeting to form a Bulgarian chapter of the International Institute of Business analysis (IIBA) will take place at Elieff center in Sofia. It will be the first meeting of the professionals working in the area of business analysis in software development projects. The goal of the meeting is to present the initiative to form a Bulgarian chapter of the IIBA.

The IIBA is an independent non-profit professional association serving the growing field of business analysis. It is a prestigious organization of professionals working on establishing and supporting of common standards and good practices in the area of business analysis. The Institute realizes its mission by developing the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK) and by certifying professionals and education centers. CBAP (Certified Business Analysis Professional) - the professional certificate issued by IIBA - is the only internationally recognized certificate in the BA field.

The initiative to form a Bulgarian chapter of the IIBA is motivated by the desire of the Bulgarian business analysts to unite in a professional society to work for the development and the distribution of knowledge and for establishing the business analysis as valuable and prestige profession in Bulgaria.

RammSoft is a long-time supporter of the idea to recognition of the profession of the business analyst in Bulgaria as well as to create a professional society of the people working in the software development area. This is the reason our company actively sponsors this undertaking and our CEO Mihail “Mike Ramm” Mihaylov is one of the founders and the members of the board og the Bulgarian chapter of the IIBA.

We invite everyone who is involved with the business analysis activities, who is interested in creating a professional society, or is just curious to come to the initial meeting where they can meet a lot of colleagues and to learn more about the IIBA activities and the goals of the Bulgarian chapter.
