Should BAs & Developers be in the same department?

OK, so we know that there is often a little friction, if not jostling for position between BAs & Developers on projects. After all we are both working at the same level of detail -only one looking at the business process and the other is coding. Some years ago our organisation had everyone in one happy family with little apparent friction. Then in order to control the transformation of the business areas we decided that we would pool business PMs, BAs, Testers & the programme office together. A good idea on the surface but is it compromising team integrity for projects? Any thoughts would be welcome.

I have to say, I've worked in all sorts of structures combined, separated, and a mix.The ultimate factor is people. It will always come down to people. Soft skills are king in situations like these and collaboration is the currency that supports it.

You can sit two people together, that does not mean they will work together.
