My experience includes: • Requirements Analysis • Business Process Analysis • Functional Requirements • Technical Requirements • Impact & Gap Analysis • Business Process Modeling (BPM) • Workflow Design • Change Management • System Analysis • Process Improvement • Business & Technical Consultation ⭐ TECHNICAL & PROJECT DOCUMENTATION Strong documentation is one of the foundations of successful IT projects.
