During my tenure as a Tech Strategy Consultant, I conducted comprehensive assessments of clients' IT environments, utilizing rigorous methodologies such as surveys and interviews to discern the current state. I meticulously researched and envisioned the desired future state, performing in-depth analyses on various cost factors including cost-to-achieve, licensing, maintenance and infrastructure expenses, as well as total cost of ownership. Collaborating closely with technical SMEs, I synthesized findings into a compelling business case tailored to each client's unique needs. Notably, my clientele included prominent energy firms based in Canada and a leading insurance corporation headquartered in the US.In my role as a Business Analyst, I facilitated effective communication with key client stakeholders, adeptly eliciting and documenting requirements. I conducted meticulous fit-gap analyses and collaborated closely with solution architects and development teams to devise practical solutions. Additionally, I authored comprehensive architecture design documents, test strategy documents and user stories, while also crafting detailed test cases to ensure robust product quality. Engaging in capacity planning, sprint planning and product backlog management, I worked closely alongside product owners to prioritize tasks and deliverables. Utilizing project management tools such as JIRA and ITSM platforms like ServiceNow, I streamlined project workflows and ensured seamless coordination.
