Scrum Alliance and IIBA Partner to Connect Agile Delivery and Business Analysis

New partnership launches with reciprocal member benefits.

DENVER, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Scrum Alliance®, the global leader in agile and scrum training, and the International Institute of Business Analysis™ (IIBA®), the world's leading association for business analysis, today announced a strategic partnership designed to bridge agile delivery and business analysis.

Scrum Alliance members receive 15% off eligible IIBA memberships, certifications, learning bundles, and renewals. IIBA publications and certification application fees are not eligible for the discount. Likewise, IIBA members receive 15% off eligible Scrum Alliance on-demand microcredential courses. Each course includes a two-year Scrum Alliance membership.

As organizations integrate AI and rethink how work gets done, the ability to identify the right problems, make sound decisions, and rapidly realize value from those decisions is becoming increasingly important. Business analysis and agile delivery bring complementary capabilities to that challenge.

"Agile delivery and business analysis have always worked side by side," said Tristan Boutros, CEO of Scrum Alliance. "As AI changes how organizations make decisions and create value, the ability to connect insight with execution becomes even more important. By bringing the Scrum Alliance and IIBA communities together, we can help professionals build the broader capabilities they need to lead and deliver in this new environment."

"For organizations investing in AI, the hard part is deciding what will provide business value and getting teams aligned to act on it," said Delvin Fletcher, President and CEO of IIBA. "Business analysis and agile delivery both help solve for that. We're thrilled to team up with Scrum Alliance to give our global communities a better way to expand their capabilities and lead through change."
