- Preparing and leading refinement sessions with the development team, breaking epics down into well-defined user stories with clear acceptance criteria

- Writing and maintaining technical specifications, including functional requirements, integrations, data flows, and API behavior, together with developers and architects

- Participating in test case definition and user acceptance testing together with QA teams

- Identifying and reporting on common sources of technical issues or questions and making recommendations to product teams

- Staying on the lookout for ways to improve monitoring, discovering issues, and delivering better value to the customer

- Balancing priorities between new features, bug fixes, technical improvements, and maintenance, and clearly explaining those choices to the client and the team

- Keeping stakeholders informed on progress, scope changes, and upcoming releases

- Guarding the project's scope together with project management
