ANSWER

The BIZBOK stands for Business Architecture Body of Knowledge (also referenced as the BIZBOK Guide or The Guide to the Business Architecture Body of Knowledge).  

The guide represents an organized body of knowledge, set of disciplines, and best practices for business architects and other practitioners who would like to document and manage a formal business architecture with their organization to address business challenges.  Like many other BOKs or Bodies of Knowledge, the BIZBOK continues to be evolved over time

The current version of the BIZBOK is v3.0.  It’s evolution and formalization is owned and managed by the Business Architecture Guild whose primary purpose is to promote business architecture best practices and expand the knowledge-base of the Business Architecture discipline. The guild is developing the BIZBOK with input from authors, practitioners, and other architecture groups such as the Business Architecture Society, the OMG Business Architecture Special Interest Group, and the Business Architecture Institute. 

The full BIZBOK is available to Business Architecture Guild members.

Do your homework prior to the business analysis interview!

Having an idea of the type of questions you might be asked during a business analyst interview will not only give you confidence but it will also help you to formulate your thoughts and to be better prepared to answer the interview questions you might get during the interview for a business analyst position.  Of course, just memorizing a list of business analyst interview questions will not make you a great business analyst but it might just help you get that next job.
