A slightly more businessy than the usual 'Something for the Weekend' this week, but I wanted to share some exiting research that gives recognition to the how important the role of the Business Analyst is in today's IT environment.
Research conducted by Forester and published in CIO Insight places Business Analysis at the number one slot in terms of the 'Most Important IT Roles'. I'll let you read the report yourself but I'm sure you'll agree it’s a staggering development.

To further reinforce those messages I wanted to share two further recent research findings with you:
- 71% of failed software projects are traced to poor requirements*
- 40% of the effort in an average software project is fixing errors, and requirements defects account for 56% of re-work**
I'm feeling a distinct groundswell both internally (to my organisation) and externally in that recognition - A high note to finish the week on!!
