BA is the way

I'm taking a Business Analyst course. It's not terribly exciting material, but what is terribly exciting are the possibilities it may lead to. You see, BA work is sorely lacking in the work I do, it's like it is just skimmed over and really by-passed to get onto delivering a solution, which is what everyone one wants... I mean who really wants to sit there and plan what is needed in a car, lets say, why not just go out and buy the Porsche! What organizations are starting to slowly realize (and I mean slowly) is that the identification of requirements is essential to the success of a project in the end. But there is no organization dedicated to business analysis, like we have for project management (which is where I work). And that is why projects pay BA's so much money to do what they do! And that is where the possibilities lie!!
