Whilst to Business Analysts always (well in theory *should* always) have a role to play, it is not until people have experienced first hand a disasterous project where the role was lacking that anything will get done about it. In smaller software development teams perhaps you can get away withoutn the position but whatever your size I think that outsourcing business analysis is one of the most foolish things you can do - you end up paying bags of money for someone who doesn't understand the company to tell developers about your company. It just won't end well! I think the industry is cyclical.

In my opinion you don't need to get trained or certified overall many companies look forward for them who been with them and know the process.

I'm currently studing to become one myself. I'm in my first year. Wish me good luck. Hope to even proceed to became a BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE someday. you are the best hi,

At the company I work for we are just coming around to the need for some sort of Business Analyst role as we currently don't have one (and never have). It has been very much as you say, where it has been a case of playing around with new technologies and then when the funding dries up for some of these projects there is a bigger need for reducing costs and maximising profits. Of course, without ever having a business analyst role I'm not too sure how we start and develop a place for the role. I'm sure it will be hugely beneficial to us but the problem is that without anyone having done this before it's a case of having a guinea pig and hoping for the best. Hi,
