Thanks for this suggestion. I'm not familiar with this philosophy so can't comment.
Is there a link you can share to anything that summarises the thinking behind this?

Always a risk. You need to make clear what you are showing and why before you go down this route

I think you've summed it up well. Every solution covers a spectrum from business through to detailed technical design. All of these have requirements - they just tend to focus on different things.
The business requirements focus on the business need; the user requirements focus on the user's needs; the system requirements focus on how the user interacts with the system.
A systems analyst will be more comfortable at the systems end whereas the business analyst will be more comfortable (and focussed) on the business end.

Good point Winston - BA techniques that are transferrable are extremely valuable.
it also means you're not locked into a particular industry - I've worked for finance, pharma, media because my experience is highly transferable.

Hi Neda
this site is not for those wishing to start their own company (although business analysts have many useful skills to help in company building ;-) ). Business analysts help companies deliver the RIGHT business solutions (often involving IT).

Thanks Joan. It's always good to hear positive feedback - it tells me I must be doing something right!

I've appreciated the contributions you have made and am looking forward to when the rest of the community can appreciate your talents (other than one to one mentoring of course!).
