7. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
8. Proven experience in writing user stories and acceptance criteria in agile environments.
9. Demonstrable experience conducting workshops and facilitating stakeholder discussions.
10. Strong experience with business process modelling techniques (e.g., BPMN, UML).
11. Experience using tools like DevOps, JIRA, Confluence, Visio, or Lucidchart.
