Identify potential scope changes and raise them promptly with the lead BA or project manager and participate in client scope conversations as your skills develop. 

Delivery Support

Review test cases and scenarios and perform UAT to confirm solutions meet business requirements. 

Research client questions on functionality using test systems, internal AI tooling, documentation, or SMEs as needed.
