• Gather and synthesize feedback from multiple business lines to document clear, actionable Business Requirements Documents (BRDs).

• Track development progress and ensure backlog commitments are delivered on time and according to specifications.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to delivery timelines, scope, and quality.
