Blame the BA

We know that every study about failed IT projects ends up revealing the cause as poor, missing, or misunderstood requirements. Poor requirements can be blamed for all previous project failures from the collapse of early pyramids to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

That could become the Business Analyst prayer or mantra.
