- Ensure technical requirements are comprehensive and well-documented, reducing ambiguity and facilitating smooth development.
Agile Collaboration:
- Actively participate in all Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.

- Work closely with developers and QA to clarify requirements and facilitate issue resolution.
Documentation and Communication:
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of requirements, functional specifications, and system interactions.
