Hi All,

I'd like to get your thoughts on what you are seeing in industry now in regards to business analysis.

What I see in today's organizations are:

1) Trend away from centralized CoE towards decentralized CoP

2) Organizations moving back towards "just enough documentation"

3) BA industry maturing thanks to PMIs involvement, multiple levels of the CBAP upcoming, etc.

4) A slice of the highly technical BAs have rebranded themselves as Data Architects

Sergio,

Have you ever heard the story about the PM Ego Test. It goes like this. Get a PM to compare a BA and a PM. If the PM considers BA an inferior team member, or one that simply scribes, then he has "the ego". If he thinks the BA is on par with the PM he is likely a BA.... ;)

I'm going to open a discussion on the PM/BA combo again, I like that topic.
And this is the first step to failure. I have been working from 1998 helping organizations in implementing the business analyst role and this is one of the situations I have to face most of the time around the world.
