BAs do much more than just translate; they also make recommendations, think deply about requirements and articulate them when the bsuness can't, find solutions to design shortcomings, etc. How about the BA as a “guide” through the project/ development process.

IAs and BAs can just be cookie-cutter mappers of as-is processes or they can help to engage business clients and facilitate change. I know which end of the value scale I'd rather be at :) Cheers, Andrew Hi Maria,
