• Collaborate closely with developers, QA testers, project managers, and product owners to ensure accurate interpretation and implementation of requirements.
• Support solution design and participate in design reviews to ensure alignment with business objectives.
• Assist in test planning, execution of user acceptance testing (UAT), and defect management.
• Provide input into project plans, timelines, and resource allocation from a business analysis perspective.
