✦ Synopsis

"This book is the first to take a critical look at the two professions, Business Analyst(BA) and Project manager(PM). It compares the similarities and differences of their roles and responsibilities and then shows how the decision on which to use should be based on the type of project, staff skills profile, internal organizational environment and prevailing market conditions. These are all determinants of whether separate BA and PM professionals or the merged BA/PM professional are the best choice for staffing a project.
