• Overseeing requirements analysis and functionality are compliant with company standards, business and technical target architectures
• Reviewing testing strategies, plans, criteria and results to ensure delivery of end-to-end solutions
• Managing change in business requirements throughout the project, ensuring all change management activity takes place and impacts of change are fully documented and understood
• Working within business analysis practice, following a structured end-to-end business analysis and design framework which ensures appropriate decisions can be made regarding changes to systems, data requirements and processes and the impacts of doing so including EPIC and user story creation within agile teams
