Project Managers vs Business Analysts

Question

We all know about the love/hate relationship project managers have with business analysts. My experience with them has been very good. In some cases, I don't know what I would have done without them. What is your experience with BA?

Answer 1

BI’s mostly gather information, determine operational objectives, evaluate outputs, and make reports/charts to be used by management to make decisions. The PM ensures the project collect and provides all the necessary information the BI needs to do his job. For sure, the BI do not plan and execute projects.
