Hi,
Talking in terms of the people involved in the SDLC, who is the best fit for a business analyst?
Is it the developer, tester or a technical writer?
The best Business Analysts I have worked with have been consultants that had been previous developers (Technical Programming and Relational Database background) in places where they had heavy client-facing interactions. They understood the whole SDLC process and could take a project from beginning to end, filling in where needed in any phase of the project.
The SDLC Phases are:
Project Selection - (When I get to a site, the project has usually already been selected...with a projected budget and deadline)
Initiating
Planning
Requirements Definition
Functional Design
System Design
Programming and Development
Integration and Testing
Installation and Acceptance
Closing
Maintenance
Retirement (Sun Set)
