--> Vidya: True we all face that. BAs are always treated as outsiders because of their proximity with the client in the early stages of the project. But BAs have to work in similar proximity with the Developers during the later part of the projects. So the way we make good relations with Client, we need to make good relations with the Development Team as well. Try these things and see if it works next time you face a similar situation. And yes do share with me what worked for you!

--> Ranjan: I am not sure about that, as I have never been part of the Design as a BA. I doubt I would want be part of it either.

Agree with you on all the points and its very important to strike a rapport with the developement team.
The challenge here which I face often is translating the situation in terms which are neither business nor technical...
another interesting way to build your credebilty is getting involved in data modelling and High level design with the developement team, this time when some of the loop holes in the requirements are exposed and a BA must handle the situations smartly... as the team always looks for design elements in the requirements.
And believe me you become a better BA after each design meeting.
