It's a known fact that a Business Analyst can be involved in at least four types of activities (see Wikipedia). In this article I will express a few ideas about the Business Analysis involved in the IT Project Development.

    Ever thought that a Business Analyst can be compared with a Swiss Army Knife? I always felt like this, along with my career so far. Why? Well, sometimes I thought because I have more experience than the average people, sometimes I thought because I started my activity in IT field while still a pupil, sometimes because I was engaged in everything I do, sometimes I thought that this is due to my type (INTJ), sometimes because my balanced-brain type... or any combination of the above.

    Two days ago, the post's topic was Creativity and Innovation in Business Analysis.

    What's the main difference between Creativity and Innovation? In my opinion, it is about the sector of activity we talk about. While Creativity is mostly specific to the arts, the Innovation is mostly specific to the Technology field.

    The Business Analysis activity can be seen from many different perspectives, in all available sets of IT methodologies and frameworks created so far. This perspective, of Innovation and Creativity is not a standard one; you can find it mostly in UI design or UX design; you can find it in internal architecture of the systems; and you can find it in sales.
