Include analysis of business and user needs, documentation of requirements, and translation into proper system requirement specifications.

On a day to day basis you will:

• Work within an agile scrum team to include a ScrumMaster, Product Owner, business analyst, test analysts, application developers and client counterparts to design and deliver new products or capabilities in an iterative, continuous fashion

• Develop detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, screen mock-ups, flow diagrams, etc. outlining the solution to be implemented

• Are business oriented, thinking continuously about what can be done to improve the business, and the business processes which drive the business

• Are able to challenge the business manager, sponsor, problem owner and users to define the real business problem behind the expressed “needs” to ensure that the solution team is solving the right problem, and not providing the right solution to the wrong problem

• Are willing to step into other roles on the agile scrum team when necessary to help the team meet defined goals
