Translate requirements into executable delivery artifacts by writing and prioritizing user stories, features, epics, and program backlogs, and clearly communicating requirements to developers, testers, and stakeholders.
Support end‑to‑end solution delivery and quality assurance, including UAT and post‑deployment testing, demonstration of product functionality to stakeholders, and validation that implemented solutions meet defined business requirements.
Drive program execution, transparency, and continuous improvement by tracking and communicating project metrics, progress, risks, impediments, and dependencies, and applying feedback and performance metrics to identify improvement opportunities.
Enable adoption and change management through effective change practices, creation of Salesforce training materials and user guides, and ongoing stakeholder engagement.
Ensure Salesforce solutions align with governance, compliance, and strategic direction, evaluating and recommending new Salesforce tools or integrations as appropriate.
