Translate business needs into process maps, requirements documentation, decision records, and traceability artifacts. Identify gaps, conflicts, ambiguities, and unresolved requirements that could impact delivery. Support prioritization of requirements with sponsors, product owners, PMs, and delivery teams. Ensure requirements remain aligned through delivery and do not drift without formal decisioning. Stakeholder and Process Alignment

Facilitate workshops, interviews, walkthroughs, and working sessions with business and technology stakeholders. Support alignment between strategy, portfolio intent, product/platform teams, project delivery, shared services, and operational teams. Document current-state and future-state processes. Identify operational impacts, business readiness needs, training implications, and transition considerations. Surface decision points and escalation needs early. Delivery Support
