Gathering requirements from stakeholders then turn them into a specification which developers can understand.

Why do you do it this why, why not that way?

Challenging the status quo, pushing the boundaries, looking for alternative or creative solutions.

Out competitors let their customers track orders online...
We want to offer online check-in via mobile phones...
De we need to change any business processes for the next application release...
What system changes are needed for the new tax tables...
What database access is required for compliance reporting...
How can we prevent under/over payment of benefits...

Nothing earns their respect more than when y ou understand their problems.
