Overview of Specialties
FOUR CORE The field of business intelligence logically segments into four core
DISCIPLINES disciplines:
• Leadership and Management with attention to both program and

project levels of BI activity.
• Business Analytics concentrating on applied measurement as a business
management tool.
• Data Analysis and Design that is essential to provide the data-to-
information foundation of BI.
• Data Integration as a core discipline to achieve consistency, cohesion,
and continuity of business information.
BALANCING Business intelligence is both a business and a technology endeavor. BI

BUSINESS AND success depends largely on bringing business and technology together in
TECHNICAL SKILLS the right ways. Every BI discipline demands knowledge of both business
and technology. The balance of business and technical literacy, however,
varies depending on the discipline. The chart on the facing page illustrates
a practical balance between business and technical literacy for each of the
four disciplines. An ideal business analyst, for example, attains a body of
knowledge and skill that is approximately 70 percent business-focused
and 30 percent technically focused. At the opposite end of the spectrum, a
data integration specialist uses much more technical knowledge than
professionals in the other three specialties.
CBIP Specialties
Leadership and Management
CBIP Specialties
Leadership and Management
THE SPECIALTY Leadership and Management is a key success factor for BI programs and
projects, with strong focus on effectively integrating people, processes,
and technology to deliver business value. The field requires depth of
process knowledge including development methodology, program
management, and project management as well as organizational and
team-building skills. An understanding of business topics such as
Business Performance Management (BPM), Customer Relationship
Management (CRM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM) is also
needed. High-level technical understanding of BI applications and data
warehousing concepts is also part of the Leadership and Management
body of knowledge.
TYPICAL JOB Roles that require this knowledge include program manager, project
ROLES manager, and business intelligence architect.
CBIP Specialties
Business Analytics
CBIP Specialties
Business Analytics
THE SPECIALTY Business Analytics focuses on effective use of data and information to
drive positive business actions. The body of knowledge for this area
includes both business and technical topics including concepts of
performance management, definition and delivery of business metrics,
data visualization, and deployment and use of technology solutions such
as OLAP, dashboards, scorecards, analytic applications, and data mining.
TYPICAL JOB Business intelligence roles that demand business analytics knowledge and
ROLES skills include business sponsor, business subject expert, knowledge
worker, data steward, business requirements analyst, and developer of
business analytics systems. Roles with broad scope of responsibility such
as business intelligence architect, metadata administrator, quality
administrator, and customer service personnel also benefit from a solid
foundation in business analytics.
CBIP Specialties
Data Analysis and Design
CBIP Specialties
Data Analysis and Design
THE SPECIALTY Data Analysis and Design provides the foundation for delivery of BI
applications. Analysis concentrates on understanding business needs for
data and information. Design focuses on translating business information
needs into data structures that are adaptable, extensible, and sustainable.
Core skills include information needs analysis, specification of business
metrics, and data modeling. Solid understanding of data warehousing
concepts, architectures, and processes is also essential.
TYPICAL JOB Common roles in this area include data steward, information architect,
ROLES data modeler, source data analyst, and database developer. A few roles
that are broad in scope – business intelligence architect, metadata
administrator, and quality administrator – also benefit from this body of
knowledge.
CBIP Specialties
Data Integration
CBIP Specialties
Data Integration
THE SPECIALTY Data Integration is fundamental to data warehousing and is a vital process
for a rich and robust data resource to deliver BI solutions. Integration
includes all of the activities necessary to acquire data from sources, and to
transform and cleanse the data. The body of knowledge includes concepts
and skills for source data analysis and source qualification, data profiling,
source/target mapping, data cleansing and transformation, and ETL
development.
TYPICAL JOB Data integration skills are essential in roles such as data steward, data
ROLES acquisition architect, source data analyst, and ETL developer. These skills
are valuable in broader roles such as business intelligence architect,

Job Roles and Specialties
BI ROLES The job roles for effective business intelligence typically divide into six
categories:
• Business Roles
• Management Roles
• Architecture Roles
• Requirements Analysis Roles
• Design and Construction Roles
• Infrastructure Roles
These roles describe groups of activities and responsibilities that are

generally assigned to an individual. Roles are not synonymous with job
titles. It is common, especially in smaller BI teams, for one individual to
assume multiple roles.
MAPPING ROLES Each role depends on BI disciplines – understanding of and experience

TO SPECIALTIES with a specific body of knowledge and skills – to be effective. Mapping
roles to disciplines helps to identify the specific skills needed to perform
in each role. The table on the facing page maps roles to disciplines using
the following classification:
• Understanding of the discipline is essential. These are critical skills for

the role.
• Understanding of the discipline provides valuable knowledge to be
highly effective. These are important skills for the role.
• Knowledge of the discipline is useful and may aid performance in the
role. These are valuable skills for the role.
• Knowledge of the discipline will be helpful to teamwork. These are
“nice to have” skills for the role.
Levels of Certification
Certificates vs. Meaningful Credentials
Certificates vs. Meaningful Credentials
CERTIFICATION The primary purpose of certification is to create sustainable value for

individuals and for organizations. Individuals want credentials that bolster
confidence in their abilities and communicate a recognizable level of
expertise. Organizations want knowledgeable employees who can apply
their expertise to meet organizational goals.
KINDS OF The word “certified” has unfortunately been abused by some to become
CERTIFICATION synonymous with “certificate.” One well-known consulting group, for
example, suggests that you “become a certified metadata professional” by
attending a two-day class. It takes little reflection to realize that this
program doesn’t offer knowledge and skill certification, but a simple
certificate of attendance. The value of certification is proportional to the
amount of time and effort required to achieve that certification. Three
kinds of professional certificates/certification are common:
• Attendance-based certificates documenting attendance of a class.
• Education-based certification documenting immersion in a body of
study and completion of a planned learning process.
• Examination-based certification documenting demonstrated skills
and knowledge through formal testing.
Each level from attendance-based to examination-based is increasingly
demanding to achieve, with a corresponding increase of individual and
organizational value.
PRINCIPLES OF CBIP is a true examination-based certification program designed to offer

CBIP a meaningful and valuable credential. CBIP is founded on the following
principles:
• Certification is based on a curriculum that aligns learning objectives
with job roles and responsibilities
• Knowledge and skills testing are essential components
• Test developers and education providers are separate and independent
organizations
• The tests are challenging. They demand real study to pass them; there
is risk of failure
• The tests are not specific to any vendor or set of products
• Testing occurs in a controlled environment
• Recertification is required periodically
• Performance profiling and skills gap analysis are part of the exam
process.

RE-TESTING The CBIP exams may be retaken after a one month waiting period.
During the waiting period the exam performance profile can be reviewed
and additional time spent in preparation.
The CBIP Exams

What You Do
The CBIP Exams

What You Do
CBIP APPLICATION Every CBIP applicant must complete a CBIP application form. For
FORM applicants taking exams in a group setting, the application form will be
made available at time of testing. Applicants who choose to take exams
via remote proctoring can obtain the application form by emailing
cbip@tdwi.org.
TAKE EXAMS The table on the facing page illustrates the exams that are required for
each CBIP specialty. Every specialty requires three exams – the IS Core
or Business Core Exam, the Data Foundations or Data Warehousing
Exam, and one exam unique to the specialty. The self-inventory
completed earlier will prove helpful in choosing those specialties and
exams where you have the highest probability of success.
All exams are taken in a controlled and proctored environment. In

addition to group examination opportunities (such as may be offered after
this class) TDWI may offer other examination sessions to meet your
timing and location needs.
RECERTIFY Recertification is necessary to maintain current knowledge and skills in

the changing field of business intelligence and data warehousing.
A CBIP credential is valid for a period of four years from the issue date
and must be renewed prior to expiration and during each subsequent four-
year period. Various types of professional development may be used to
satisfy the renewal requirements: self-study, retaking exams, taking
continuing education courses within your specialty area, and participating
in education programs by designing or teaching courses. Full or partial
renewal credit can be earned by adding additional specialties to a CBIP
certificate. Credit may also be earned by submitting questions for possible
inclusion in CBIP-related material.
120 contact hours of appropriate activities must be documented during the

four-year period to renew your certification.
PAY FEES There is a fee associated with every exam taken. Fee payment is required
at the time of examination unless other payment arrangements have been
agreed upon prior to the exam session. Additionally, there is an annual
recertification fee.

What TDWI Does
CBIP PROGRAM TDWI is responsible for all aspects of CBIP program administration from
ADMINISTRATION providing preparatory education, through examination, to issuing of
certificates and verification of CBIP status. Examination services and
issuing of certificates require services of the ICCP. TDWI works directly
with ICCP. You – the customer – work directly with TDWI. From an
examinee perspective, ICCP services are in the background.
MANAGES THE TDWI is responsible for all aspects of CBIP program management from
CBIP PROGRAM conception through customer service and support. TDWI works
cooperatively with ICCP to provide examination opportunities and to
continuously update and improve the exams.
THE ROLE OF ICCP The CBIP program uses the ICCP’s examination services to support some
of the principles of CBIP described in this module. External examination
services support the CBIP program’s need for:
• Knowledge and skills testing

• Separation of examiners from educators
• Vendor-neutral examination
• Controlled testing
• Performance profiling

Exam Description
Body of Knowledge Based
DEFINITION Each of the exams in the CBIP program is based upon a specific Body of
Knowledge (BOK) that includes concepts, principles, processes,
applications, and best practices used in each of the areas. Using the BOK,
a three-tier outline was created to provide a detailed and standardized
structure for the Body of Knowledge.
USING THE BODY A detailed outline for each exam is available in the CBIP Examinations
OF KNOWLEDGE Guide, which will be provided to you.
To prepare for testing, it is recommended that you review the exam

outline and:
1) check off items where you have sufficient knowledge and experience
2) highlight items or groups of items where you don’t have the depth of
understanding to apply your knowledge and experience
3) use research tools such as the Internet or industry publications to
expand your knowledge
4) use resources such as others in IT to discuss concepts and principles
and their application
LEVELS OF Each of the questions in the exam tests against different levels of
KNOWLEDGE knowledge and ability to apply that knowledge:
• Recognition: The ability to name a concept, fact, or idea and

recall information about it.
• Discrimination: The ability to distinguish between similar
concepts, ideas, and facts.
• Understanding: The ability to know what a concept, fact, or idea
means in sufficient depth to describe what it does and does not
include.
• Applications: The ability to use concepts, facts, and ideas in a
variety of situations and to include them when creating solutions
to business or information systems needs.
• Evaluation: The ability to assess the quality of a system, product,
or solution on the basis of related concepts, ideas, and facts.

Exam Strategy
MANAGING YOUR Each exam contains 110 questions and you are allowed 90 minutes to
TIME complete it. During the exam you will find the number of unanswered
questions in the bottom right-hand corner.
Included in each exam are 10 questions which are being used for
evaluation purposes. These questions will not be identified so if you
encounter any oddly-worded questions assume they are part of the
evaluation set and move on with your testing. Don’t waste time worrying
about individual questions.
EXAM FORMAT The exams use straight line testing, which means that each question is
completely independent of the others, and answering a question
incorrectly does not affect which upcoming questions are displayed.
YOUR STYLE OF If you are out of practice taking exams, you should consider these
TESTING strategies which have proved to be effective for others.
Changing answers: Everyone has their own thoughts as to whether it’s

effective to change an answer. Sometimes going through an exam will
reveal answers to other questions. If you feel strongly that the answer
should be changed then do so – otherwise you will waste time thinking
about it.
Skipping questions: When you are testing, the check mark in the top
center of your screen will not turn red until you have answered all of the
questions. Once you run out of time, the check mark will turn red whether
or not you have answered all the questions.
Keeping notes: You will be provided with several pieces of blank paper
for note taking.
Going back if you have time: You will receive a 5 minute and a 15
minute warning so you can allocate time to review the questions if you so
wish.
Testing Techniques
Question Strategy
To have a high level of correctness, data exhibits all of the following

qualities EXCEPT
a) completeness negatives can include
b) accuracy
c) consistency
more than ‘no’ or ‘not’
d) granularity
Which of the following statements is true about data integrity?

a) it is always determined by assertions about the structure
of the data
b) it is mostly about foreign key references absolutes can
c) it is enforced through DBMS constraints be in the question
d) it is difficult to measure or the answer
Low latency data means

a) an operational data store (ODS) easy, definitional
b) just-in-time data loads
question
c) near real-time data
d) daily or more frequent ETL processes
Which is LEAST likely to need attention when acquiring warehouse data

from log files?
a) log file size
b) log file retention
for difficult questions
c) restores, rollbacks, and reruns parse it into phrases
d) completeness of log files
Testing Techniques
Question Strategy
NEGATIVES These types of questions contain “no,” “not,” and “except,” and require a
different thought process. Pay particular attention to each of the potential
answers and remember that you are looking for true statements.
ABSOLUTES When a question contains words such as “every,” “always,” “none,” and
“only,” it should be carefully reviewed since it means that all parts of the
answer cannot be disputed.
GUESSING There are no penalties for guessing so it is better to take a good guess
than to leave a question blank.
EASY VS Some of the questions are going to be easy but even if this is the case,
DIFFICULT answer each BEFORE you review the possible answers. Don't skim over
any of the answers since some may be more correct than others.
QUESTIONS
Sometimes the question is just easy and answering it quickly will give
you extra time on the more difficult questions.
READING VS There are two strategies for dealing with questions where an answer
MISREADING doesn’t seem immediately apparent: the true/false test and parsing the
question and answers.
True/False Test: You will be provided with scratch paper so, starting with
the first answer, write down a T or F. Go through the same process for
each of the answers. Then review the results and pick the best answer,
which may or may not appear to be the complete correct one. You need to
pick the best choice amongst the alternatives.
Parsing the question and possible answers: If the answer doesn’t seem
obvious try parsing into different phrases.
