AAC exam snapshot
Provider: International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)
Official exam name: Agile Analysis Certification (AAC)
What IIBA says AAC is assessing
agile analysis capability
business-analysis work inside iterative agile delivery environments
specialist BA depth rather than only general agile team participation
Who AAC is for
analysts working in agile teams and product-delivery environments
candidates comparing AAC with PMI-ACP, Scrum.org product routes, or product-analysis paths
professionals whose BA work is tightly coupled to iterative delivery
Why candidates choose AAC
AAC is usually the better fit when you need agile-analysis depth rather than a broader agile certification or Scrum role credential.
It works well when your real job sits between delivery teams, product decisions, and structured BA work.
It is a stronger comparison point for Agile Business Analysis and CPOA than for ECBA, because it assumes specialist agile BA context instead of entry-level BA learning.
What AAC is really testing
whether you can apply BA thinking inside agile delivery rather than outside it
whether stakeholder and requirements judgment adapt well to iterative product work
whether you understand agile analysis as a distinct discipline, not just generic agile vocabulary
