I'm seeking advice and any links describing how successful teams orient BA's when they are on Kanban delivery teams. Specifically how BA's can develop a deep understanding and relationship with business departments, while being on teams that are NOT dedicated to a business department's work.
An organization has five teams. Each team has 2+ developers, QA, BA, PM, and Ux. In theory any team should be able to pull a story submitted by any internal department, which are in a prioritized portfolio queue. The teams are NOT product/department focused. Since there are a wide variety of departments whose work can be pulled, can the BA's in this scenario adequately provide in depth business related analysis as they move from request to request among several departments?
