I think you underestimate inefficiency of requiring all business analysts and employees to learn GIT. If not all employees than more employees. I can pick put up job ad for BA saying knows JIRA and I have dozens of applicants.

We had a technical guy once where I worked that wanted to force sales guys to use LaTex to write documentation and requirements in and store it in GIT. I feel bad for the guy as he was laughed out by sales guys and he did not understood why because those are such a great tools…




OTH the inefficiency of an analyst who cannot answer even basic questions about the current state of the product without developers' help. Distracting them, or even worse - blocking until a dev is available.

I think it boils down to the power of balance in the org. Likewise I've met developers who cannot book a meeting. Some people have privilege to choose what to learn and what to laugh at. Actually, I'm surprised your sales guys wrote any documentation at all:)
