This Is Heartwarming

I found this article today, with the following highlighted quote:
In October 2003, 28 men and women met in Toronto for the inaugural meeting of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA). That meeting may ultimately contribute more to business-process improvement than most of today’s project management tools and agile development methodologies combined.

The formation of the IIBA meant that requirements planning and analysis — the first steps in all successful IT business-process-improvement efforts — would someday be in the hands of trained and certified business analysts, not project managers whose interests, strengths and certifications are aimed at other areas, most notably the complexities of orchestrating implementations.

That's the kind of statement that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Now back to work, that website won't relaunch itself...
