  • Assist in gap analysis and that resultant requirements are defined and documented in the DRD;
  • Analyse designs, as required, to ensure logic and flow is maintained and quality and efficiency are maximised;
  • Ensure customer experience considerations are included in all deliverables;
  • Work efficiently and effectively with Business, vendors and Technology during the planning, analysis, design, build and test phases of project delivery to ensure speed to market;
