Title:   The power of the PM & BA Partnership to drive Business Success in the New Economy

            The New Project Leadership Model

This presentation describes the subtle and not so subtle differences between the PM and the BA approaches to projects.  It explores the differing perspectives, the complementary roles, the overlapping responsibilities, the differing view of scope, the overlapping communication channels, and the joint requirements and risk management responsibilities.  We then describe the accountabilities and deliverables for the PM and the BA during the typical project phases: pre-initiating, initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and project closing.  And finally, we discuss the golden opportunities for the BA and the PM to collaborate to manage project complexity.
