Requirements

General:

• Share knowledge and skills with colleagues through brown bags, intranet, etc
• Identify, escalate, and, where possible, mitigate potential risks impacting delivery or the team
• Promote a culture of uncompromisingly high delivery standards, where shortcuts are avoided, and team members recognize it as normal to do the right thing
• Provide relevant positive or negative feedback directly to team members as soon as possible
• Work with Business Analysts, Developers, and Business Stakeholders to gather test requirements
• Communicate test requirements via user stories, acceptance criteria, test conditions, charters, and, if necessary, test plans and specifications
