Praise for The Business Analyst Project Manager
A New Partnership for Managing Complexity and Uncertainty
"Bob has written the most comprehensive book to date on the roles of the PM and BA. ?He correctly asserts there is not one right way to assign these resources to every project. The complexity and differing characteristics of individual project types must be considered when deciding which roles and which individuals will excel on each project. Bob provides very specific recommendations that will help managers select the right person for the right role."
-Barbara Carkenord, CBAP, Cofounder, Chief Curriculum Strategist, B2T Training
"This book thoughtfully and persuasively clarifies the roles of the project manager and business analyst, showing how they can effectively work together to deliver maximum value to an organization. It not only provides historical context, but articulates the collaboration needed as we move into newer ways of delivering solutions to organizations. In delving into the nature of the relationship between the two roles, it leads us through the complexities of the project management life cycle in clear, understandable language. This ground-breaking book is sure to spark lively discussions for years to come."

"Without a strong working relationship between project managers and business analysts, a project is almost guaranteed to fail. If you're having problems with that relationship, you need to read this book. Bob provides clear and practical advice on how to improve the performance of both roles that can and should be read by everyone from individual PMs and BAs to senior executives."
