WHAT YOU LL DO:

Requirements Gathering: Engage with business stakeholders to capture detailed requirements. Understand the business context, compliance implications, and user impact of every request.

Story Writing: Translate business requirements into clear, actionable user stories with specific, testable acceptance criteria. Ensure stories include the what and why so technical teams can determine the how.

Backlog Management: Maintain and prioritize the team backlog in Azure DevOps. Ensure stories are groomed, well-defined, and sequenced by business value.

Technical Collaboration: Partner with Tech Leads during story review to ensure technical completeness. If the Tech Lead identifies architecture implications, flag the story for architecture review.

For bug fixes that impacted stakeholders, follow up post-deployment for stakeholder confirmation (Level 2). For new external-facing features, compliance changes, and financial calculations, conduct formal UAT with stakeholders (Level 3).

Compliance Tracking: For compliance-flagged work, confirm filing dates, effective dates, and regulatory deadlines. Build timelines backward from hard deadlines and track throughout the delivery cycle.

Stakeholder Communication: Provide progress updates, sprint demos, and release communications to business stakeholders. Maintain transparency on delivery status and timeline changes.

Continuous Improvement: Pursue Product Owner certification if not already held. Attend training to sharpen requirements gathering, story writing, and backlog management skills.
