Chris:
We basically agree. But there are probably 5 people on the planet who can intelligently position the major RA techniques relative to one another.
Per your last sentence: Analysts really dislike doing analysis. Analysis: Patitioning an entity into its components and then examining how the components interrelate. The 'P' word (partitioning) in systems is the killer.

Hi Chris,
I'm being pedantic here but "Functional descriptions of how the systems UIs should behave."
suggests you do this before defining the logical functions i.e. you do your solution before properly defining the problem. Now I'm sure as an experienced BA you don't do this but for others visiting the forums I think this is a very important point to get across. Mostly because its THE major recurring problem I see with business analysts.
