What I’m saying is that the very concept of how a project is implemented will completely change “in the cloud”; throwing out many of the norms we’ve all grown accustomed to.
As if that wasn’t enough, there is an even more radical shift on the horizon for the analyst. When we deliver professional services, particularly on smaller or faster projects, the business analyst IS the developer.
The key thing to understand about deep use of cloud technologies is that everything will move faster, and many formerly cryptic highly-technical things will be made easier. The analysts by themselves now will be able to simply and quickly spin up servers. They will be able to provision and customize software all by themselves. They will even be able to maintain it themselves on an ongoing basis.
