The business analyst role has established itself as a required role on a project team but without clarity, there can be confusion over where the responsibilities for a Project Manager and a Business Analyst stop and start.

The South-East Regional Health Authority (SERHA) has been defining this process over the last few years to help improve project resourcing, the overall project performance, and the quality of the project deliverables.

This presentation will review the project lifecycle from the PM and BA perspectives and discuss how this has worked at SERHA.

Here is where you can find all the logistics as well as more information and the link to register: http://stjohn.theiiba.org/default.asp?contentID=590
