Business Analysis is a liason between the business user and development team.

Let take this in this way a business analysis is a bridge between two end,one end is the IT People and Other end is Non-IT People . He/she gets the requirement from the Non-It people and interects with the IT People.

Common Example:

Let take consider this example in general terms : We want to order the Pizza

1.We are the client who want pizza ,we call pizzahut people

2.we get the choose of what we want

3.The people who answer the call  the pizza guy/gal is ba over here

4.they suggest us or tell us about the coupons or specials for the day etc,and the way they take order and present that to the pizzzamaker and also they have convience the customer based on the coupons saying if you buy large one you might get the small one for free etc.

so here the

We are the client
Pizza person who attends our call is BA
Maker of pizza is developer,tester etc
we are also the enduser as we findout the result.

BUsiness analysis helps an organisation to improve its performance, conuct its functions and activities in order to reduce cost and efficient use of resources with the time .It introduces the notion of process orientation of concentrating on and rethinking end-to-end activities that create value for customers, while removing unnecessary, non-value  work.

One should not restrict the Ba role to only being a link between Non-It and IT or only for development projects.
A BA is someone who is able to bring in improvements, changes(technology, process, people etc.) in an efficient manner. So a BA could be part of the marketting team who helps the marketting team in providing estimates/high level solutions for a said project which is under the process of procurement. Or he could be someone involved during the REquirement gathering/analysis once the project is initiated. Or he could be someone who brings profit to the company by performing process improvement activities ROIs at process level.
Last but not the least BAs could be domain specific as well.

So it has a very wide scope though jobs under all the above mentioned sectors is not yet widely available in India.

Hope this helps.
