- Work closely with project managers and developers to define implementation roadmaps
- Perform data modeling and contribute to system design
- Develop use cases and functional scenarios
- Produce mock-ups to illustrate solutions
- Define test scenarios, acceptance criteria, and execute testing before delivery to business teams
