Good idea, but what exactly do you do as a business analyst? For example, what's a typical day like?

Brain-numbing confernence calls. Writing of change requests and functional specs. Meetings with developers to explain to them how things are supposed to work. Coordination with QA. Ad hoc data requests. Monitoring of operations. Complaints to the clients about all the invoices that are 90 days past due.

Fun stuff like that.

And as a project manager I want to thank you for taking all those mind-numbing calls, writing all those requests and specs, and doing all those requests so I don't have to.

Sincerely,
Non-Sequitur, PMP

Cool. Thanks.

A couple of follow-up questions...

1. Do the developers not communicate directly with the clients? You seem to be the go-between.
2. What do you mean by "monitoring of operations"?
3. What's the relationship between you and the project manager when working on a project?
4. Do you include QA requirements in the functional spec?
5. What do you mean by "ad hoc data requests"?
