7 Trends in Business Analysis and Project Management to Watch for in 2012 – I especially like #1: “Divergence of the PM and BA Role.” This is a big one for me. I don’t want to be a PM, but my whole career people keep trying to get me to be one. They are very different roles, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have the same person filling both on a project. (The good news is that my new job will be strictly BA.)
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Hmm just read it.
Think the Role of BA in Agile is an interesting one. If they are used well they spend a lot of time facilitating and influencing business/developer/tester/solution.
Agile projects without BAs can have Ill though out solutions that don’t work in the practical sense.
