1. What can a Business Analyst do differently than project or program manager (Design Architect) with respect to successfully getting the project implementation done?

Business Analyst role is not entirely different than Project manager role but Project Manager is bigger role than business Analyst.
Project manager is responsible for all the deliverables like
- schedules/ timelines
- resources management
- risk management
- Daily/weekly status report to project stack holders etc.
where as business analyst sometimes report to project manager or may report to business manager.
Business Analyst deals with business users to gather requirements prepare RD, FD and coordinate with development team for development and then do the testing involve with users in testing get the sign off and move component to live environment.

I hope this clarify the roles of PM & BA.
