Break complex requirements into clear user stories and manageable pieces of work. Help squads define minimum viable solutions that can be delivered quickly and improved over time. Support projects throughout the full delivery lifecycle rather than handing requirements over and stepping away. Create test plans, complete QA activity and guide business users confidently through UAT. Support the implementation and adoption of new processes and platform functionality.
