Ratio of Developers to those that produce nowt

[eek]

As this seems a far better question than how many BAs do you have compared to developers.

How many people actual produce useful stuff that people end up using rather than just paper for the sake of it or additional work....

6 BAs/Managers to me, real input into what I do is zilch

system I'm working on today which has been around for ten years and has global usage , the only way to load most data is via submitting excel to a DBA, its one shot, no profiling and has a lead time of a month. There is no documentation and the field lengths weren't even publicly defined.

That was built without a BA. Or even a clue.

I have documented and got approved about 30 documents. Created a profiling tool and done more countries in a month than they did in the last 3 years.

So no bite!

You didn't bite but you have contridicted yourself. My original catch was the claim that there is no documentation, now you've documented the fact that facts within the first comment are actually inaccurate.

Gotcha

no, its perfectly reasonable to quote the before state as I am a BA,the question was what they add. What I have added I didn't mention as I didn't want to Brag.

In which case your first post should have been:-

There WAS no documentation......

And yes I know its pointless point scoring but it passes time.....
