• Documentation Excellence: Create and maintain high-quality documentation, including:
• Agile user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
• Functional Specifications Document (FSD), Business Requirements Document (BRD), and Scope Statements.
• Process flows, use case diagrams, and data flow diagrams to visualize requirements.
• Project scope documents to ensure alignment and manage scope creep.
• Process Design & Optimization: Map and document current (as-is) and future (to-be) business processes, identifying inefficiencies and recommending streamlined workflows.

• Agile & Best Practices: Champion Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), ensuring user stories are well-defined, prioritized, and refined in backlog grooming sessions. Implement BA best practices (e.g., BABOK guidelines) to ensure consistency and quality.
• Change Management: Manage requirement changes through structured processes, assessing impacts on scope, timeline, and resources, and communicating updates effectively.
• Testing & Validation: Collaborate with QA teams to develop test cases, ensure requirements traceability, and validate that deliverables meet business needs through UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
• Metrics & Reporting: Define KPIs and success criteria for projects, track progress, and provide actionable reports to stakeholders to support decision-making.
