Top 10 BA Trends for 2011

I love checking out YouTube videos and I stumbled across a video that was posted by ESI.  This video talks about the top 10 BA trends.  You can find the actual video here. However, I wanted to outline the trends here.

1. Business Architecture
2. BA & Cloud Computing
3. RMD (Requirements Management & Development): Delivering Smart Business Perspective
4. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)
5. Agile success means breaking tradition
6. Business analysis is recognized as critical to change management
7. Resurgence of centers of excellence
8. Business analysis is essential to regaining market share
9. Business analysis continues to struggle to define itself
10. Business analysis requires better balance competencies (soft skills and technical skills)

I find this these trends are dead on and a lot of what organizations are dealing with. I felt this was definitely worthy of sharing.
