You guessed it right, one of the 3 A-s is Analysis. But, obviously.
To me, though, this carries the least priority compared to the other 2. During the course of my career from a fledgling Web Programmer to an Internet Marketer to a Document Management Consultant to a Business Process Consultant, I have learnt that the other 2 A-s have a bigger role.
