The interview on the SPaMCAST 69 is with Kevin Brennan.  Kevin and I focused on how the business analysis role fits into the CMMI.  In the process we ended up discussing a wide range of topics from a business analysis point of view.

Kevin has over a decade of experience as a business analyst and project manager across several industry sectors, including regulated professions, utilities, automobile manufacturing, courier services, and mortgage banking. During this time he has performed just about every task a business analyst could be expected to do, from developing corporate and product strategies to being paged by end-users looking for technical support.
