• Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring: Organizing and coordinating the effort of Business Analysis. This activity is something a Product Owner is responsible for while they can take the help of the development team.

• Elicitation and Collaboration: Collaborating with stakeholders to uncover needs through interaction, research, experiments, etc. This activity is one of the significant responsibilities of a Product Owner.

• Requirements Life Cycle Management: Continuously managing and maintaining the requirements from inception to retirement. A Product Owner is responsible for managing the Product Backlog throughout the life cycle of the product.

• Strategy Analysis: Analyzing the strategic needs from the organizational perspective and aligning the Business Analysis activities to the strategy. Product Owners are not only responsible for aligning product development activities to strategy but also define strategy.

• Requirements Analysis and Design Definition: Analysing user needs, devising solutions and running experiments to verify and validate the requirements and solution. This activity is a shared responsibility of Product Owner and development team.

• Solution Evaluation: Performation problem/solution fit to make sure that users needs are met by the solution and all the stakeholders gain value. Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of work done by the team.

If you notice, most of the work done by the Business Analysts maps to Product Owner responsibility. However, Product Owners do much more than what a Business Analysts do.
