They will lead requirements analysis and verification, ensuring that requirement statements are complete, consistent, and verifiable, conforming to established standards. Additionally, the analyst will contribute to testing and quality assurance processes, collaborating with developers and end-users to ensure that application functionality meets client needs. The role also involves prioritizing requirements and conducting solution risk analysis, planning and communicating departmental readiness, and supporting metrics integration for optimal results. The analyst will develop and deliver training to end users and may perform other duties as assigned.
