I believe effective communication is the heart of successful software development. Great requirements are written in simple, concise, plain language that is easily understood by product stakeholders and the development team. I chose the fewest words necessary to clearly communicate concepts and specifications. Visualization is a powerful way to facilitate and verify understanding. I use various methods to visually represent business concepts and processes. I use iRise and other prototyping tools to visualize software design and functionality. The result is a clear understanding of requirements and an accelerated development process with less rework. Currently, I support a team of software development professionals by communicating with our customer, visualizing design and functionality, and communicating requirements to the team. I produce analysis documentation and diagrams that help our customer and developers resolve issues. I write test cases and perform testing of solutions and enhancements prior to release. I develop user manuals and other documentation that supports the project. In all communication, I ensure information is well-organized and well-written.
