Re: AS/400 RPG Business analyst - what tasks do they do?

Well, without spewing too much "Good Practices" bs, I see it like this:

I am one of those IT guys that can talk to users and managers without
scaring them.  We are a part of a dying breed, as we can think in technical
terms, and translate it to English (Notice I didn't say 'dumb it down' ;-)
).  In this way, I sit in on planning meetings, where the real brainstorming
is done, and play a part ("Advisor") in the ideas phase of projects.
Throughout the course of any given project, I am a sort of "go-between" that
works with the technical people, and advises the management team as to the
progress, etc.

I also do alot of the coding, and technical tasks, but this 'analyst' thing
is what seems to be more valuable.
