I am doing since many years SAP ERP Implementation Projects. From expierence I can tell you how important an industry-experienced BA involvement is to help the team (including customer) to design and implement SCM processes (and others) accoding to different industry needs (automotive, process or manufacturing industry etc), knowing the industry specifc benchmarks etc. I never start my projects without BA (or Solution Architect) E2E involvement.
Thanks Peter,
In IT industry BA is a clear role, like you say sometimes goes by other name Solution Architect.

Hi Vincent,
I met people acting in a BA role also outside IT business. Especially in big global non IT companies you can find departments doing Business Process Management.
I function in both capacities. The activities as part of my process are there to ensure success through engagement, facilitation, elicitation, and transparency. I'm in IT.
Thanks Andrew
Yes IT industry is a clear user of BA. Saving Changes...
If you are interested on PM and BA collaboration then my recommendation is taking the Practice Guide and read "Collaboration Points" into it. That is all you need to know about how to collaborate just in case you have the role assigned to different people (perhaps not as Kiron stated above)
Sergio,
thanks for the cue to maximize reading time with direct reference.
Would you say that BA exist in other industry then IT/IS? under a different name!

Yes. I have the opportunity to help several organizations to implement the role. In an European company related to automotive the name is "pilote" for example. In others the name is BRM (Business Relationship Manager), BTM (Business Transformation Manager) and in some of them the CIO got the role while she/he did not participate in detail initiatives but she/he was the head of the business analyst group. And I can send more names to you based on my personal and practical experience.

Just a little comment about @Mounir comment. It is not a complain on @Mounir comment. I can not publish the name of the companies because strategical reasons but I have the pleasure to work and to train two hugh companies in Bolivia, one related to mining and the other related to petroleum. Both are between the top companies in the world in both markets. They are using business analysis. Saving Changes...
