[Sigia-l] What's your role?

[Stewart Dean]

Okay, I better explain a bit.

I was thinking prior to there being information architect who did the
information architect job. I don't want to get into the existential crisis
area of going over titles but not so long ago I came across a job spec for a
web site analyst working for a UK company - it struck me that that role and
the role of an information architect are very very similar. The deliverables
are different in that an IA focuses on site maps and wire frames whilst a
business analyst is more likely to be using UML (use cases). Both
essentially define the solution to be implemented.

So forgetting about titles has anyone else notices these roles overlapping?
Has anyone experienced problems working with business analysts?
