BAs know what they do, but there are many people who don’t know what theories of analysis to draw upon, they don’t know what frameworks to use and when, and they don’t know what tools are out there to help them get the job done.

It makes me reflect on project management as a role, disciple and communty also. More and more PMing is a job, rather than a skill set. As ofr business analysts; the IIBA is following the PMI model, selecting a narrow definition. I expet it's a first step in an ongoing process, and by the time we retire neiher BAs nor PMs will be discreet roles, and instead will be skills that many other newer roles take on. This will probably be the same for IA. Thanks for that ot Matt. It makes me reflect on project management as a role, disciple and communty also.

You ended up at a good place - JJG is a wonderful source of IA philosophy (and we need some philosophy in amongst the LIS vs Cog Psych vs big D Designer holy wars). PS: Thanks for the link. Best regards, Andrew Good for you Matt, spreading the word about commentstorming :)
