Not about being Superman and coming in to save the day…
It’s not about taking over another project members role, it’s about the expertise and tools we can offer

Is the BA role debate our kryptonite? So many powers! What is our main focus of activity – our central
concern? Will our struggle to define our role threaten our
existence? Is BA a profession or not? Where is the League of Justice for BAs?

Role vs Discipline – for good or evil?Definition by Role: Organisations have LOTS of roles we can fill Roles vary from organisation to organisation Too broad If role ≠ my BA picture, what am I, who am I?
Definition by Discipline: Specialists in the field of business analysis are therefore business
analysts Too narrow Don’t box me in!!! If discipline definition ≠ my current role, am I really a BA?

Chickens and Eggs
“Any definition broad enough to encompass the role is too broad to foster useful discussion of the discipline; any definition narrow enough for the discipline is too narrow for the role….basing either definition on the other means one is going to be insufficient. Trying to do both at once isn’t working, producing a classic chicken-and-egg problem”.
- Jesse James Garrett, IA Recon

Central Concern will always overlap Many practices, disciplines and areas of concern have
overlap. E.g. UXD & IA; IA & BA; BA & EA People will migrate from one area of concern to another
based on their previous experience, skills and expertise, into new ones over time.
Even if we're called the PM, we might well be doing business analysis; or be called the BA on the project when we're really doing coordination and project management work.
There will always be differences between roles and activities we bring to our team and the central concern
