• Change Management: Assess the impact of requirement changes on project scope and timelines, and negotiate effectively with stakeholders to manage expectations.
• Technical Interface: Review API documentation and data models to ensure functional requirements are technically feasible for the development team.
• Mentorship & Quality: Lead the BA community within Project Tree by establishing standardized templates for BRDs/FRDs and mentoring junior analysts on elicitation techniques.
• UAT Strategy: Define the strategy for User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and act as the final authority on whether a feature meets the “Definition of Done” (DoD).

Soft Skills

• Stakeholder Management & Negotiation: Proven ability to manage complex relationships with C-suite executives and project sponsors; skilled at navigating conflicting priorities to align stakeholders with the product roadmap.
• Executive Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present technical solutions and project risks clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: A collaborative mindset with experience leading sessions between developers, QA teams, and product owners to ensure a unified understanding of the project’s “Definition of Done” (DoD).
• Active Listening & Empathy: Strong ability to elicit unspoken requirements by understanding user pain points and business context.
