Skill Examples:
Uses Domain / Industry Knowledge to independently understand capture the business requirements and fine-tune interact with SME at various stages of development
Use Product Design knowledge to design/implement the business and non-functional requirements
Use knowledge of Product Features / Functionality to understand the technical dependency of the product workflow. Independently analyze the product apply the best practices in own area of work impart training on the various functional modules of the product
Use Software Design Development knowledge to develop code as per the requirement specifications / user stories independently understand and follow engineering practices. Take technical responsibility for all stages in the software development process review process to ensure all practices are being followed
Use UX Knowledge to understand user interface design and implications on product design and development and improve product usability across the user base. Provide necessary inputs to design team that indicates the user profile/segments and savviness of these users so the right trade-off can be achieved
