Yes. Need little bit more clarity about what you are looking for.
If you mean strtategic alignment of the project, then YES. A project has to align with the organisation on strategy, priorities (CSF/KPIs), execution mehodology.. in all. So a project should be strategically aligned to organisatoin strategic objectives throughout its life cycle Saving Changes...

I can write a lot but perhaps the first point of reference is the PMI´s Practice Guide for Business Analysis. You will find into "collaboration" points stated into the guide how business analyst and project manager work together along the solution and I believe is a good point of reference to understand the way business and project team collaborate.

Otherwise, the selection of project or such Sergio made an excellent suggestion. Saving Changes...

There are really a number of project lifecycle aspects that may facilitate business development.
You may have projects that are strictly for business development, such as constructing model units to facilitate sales. (unique work)
You may have projects where additional requirements are added to support future business development, in addition to the primary purpose of the project, as it is more cost effective than a completely separate activity, e.g. incorporating new vendors or designs. (leveraging existing work)
You may have lessons learned from project, which can be used in future projects influencing business development. (planning future work based on prior work) Saving Changes...

Great question. I will talk based on my personal experience. I performed BA work inside construction initiatives and I teached BA (Business Analysis) courses for construction companies where the audience was composed mainly by business developers and sales people. When I tried to understand and to learn about the reason they were there they ansered me: "it is because what you said in our previous meetings before taken the decision to be here: a business analyst is the person that will make people dreams comes true".

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
