• Translate requirements into executable delivery artifacts by writing and prioritizing user stories, features, epics, and program backlogs, and clearly communicating requirements to developers, testers, and stakeholders.
• Support end‑to‑end solution delivery and quality assurance, including UAT and post‑deployment testing, demonstration of product functionality to stakeholders, and validation that implemented solutions meet defined business requirements.
• Drive program execution, transparency, and continuous improvement by tracking and communicating project metrics, progress, risks, impediments, and dependencies, and applying feedback and performance metrics to identify improvement opportunities.
