• Lead data-requirements sessions and present complex issues using persuasion, influence, negotiation and conflict-resolution skills to build consensus
• Produce clear, usable documentation that supports sign-off and can be used by technical project members
• Participate in sprint reviews, retrospectives, backlog refinement and other sprint-based activities
