BABOK v2.0 Snapshots Hi, As we know, each knowledge area of BABOK v 2.0 has several parts which provide details about the knowledge area. For this reason, I have developed a snapshot package for BABOK v 2.0. In the package you can find seven snapshots including: 6 knowledge areas and Underling Competencies. The snapshots are designed in A4 sized paper, but you can print them in A5 sized paper as well. Each knowledge area snapshot provides information related to, Inputs, Outputs, Techniques and Stakeholders. This package is free and you can use it for working or training purposes. Hope you all find it useful. Please share your comments and suggestions with me via me@sasannikookar.com Regards,
