Responsibilities

Lead requirements elicitation through structured interviews, workshops, process walkthroughs, and document analysis with NIH stakeholders to capture business outcomes, constraints, and success criteria

Translate business objectives into Epics, Features, and User Stories aligned to PI goals and sprint delivery plans; decompose scope iteratively to support sustainable delivery

Capture and validate both:

Functional requirements (user flows, use cases, data capture, reporting)

Non-functional requirements (security controls, performance, scalability, availability, auditability, usability, accessibility/508, operational constraints)

Support modernization efforts by identifying overlaps, process inefficiencies, and consolidation opportunities across the application portfolio and recommending streamlined business capabilities and/or LCNC approaches

Own requirements documentation and traceability in ITAC Jira, ensuring all backlog items are current, properly linked (Epic → Feature → Story → Task/Defect), prioritized, and refinement-ready

Write high-quality stories with:

Clear user value statements

Testable acceptance criteria (Given/When/Then or equivalent)

Explicit assumptions and dependencies

Definition of Ready checks (story completeness, sizing readiness, UX/security inputs)

Support PI planning by preparing backlog refinement artifacts, clarifying scope, and ensuring PI objectives map to approved requirements and backlog items

Collaborate with stakeholders to manage priority changes, perform scope clarification, and support formal approvals when backlog changes exceed refinement (e.g., escalation to leadership and/or change board)

Document current-state and future-state workflows using BPM/process mapping techniques (e.g., Visio/Lucidchart), including swim-lanes, handoffs, decision points, exceptions, and system touchpoints

Produce and maintain business rules catalogs, requirements traceability matrices (as applicable), and supporting documentation in SharePoint Online per ITAC documentation and deliverables processes

Support development of UAT scope and readiness:

Define UAT entry/exit criteria

Identify test scenarios and acceptance validation steps

Coordinate user feedback capture and defect triage with PO/QA

Collaborate with QA/Test Leads to ensure requirements are reflected in test plans and test cases, including automation alignment when appropriate

Ensure accessibility and compliance requirements are incorporated into requirements and test criteria (e.g., 508 considerations)

Partner with Enterprise Architecture and Security/GRC to ensure requirements align with:

ITAC target architecture standards

Zero Trust direction and security control implementation guidance

RMF/ATO documentation and compliance needs where required

Support coordination with EOps/DevOps teams for operational constraints and deployment readiness inputs as part of requirements definition and release planning

Contribute to contract deliverables that involve requirements artifacts and program-level planning (e.g., product roadmap inputs, PI plans, sprint-level user stories/DoD updates, business process flows)
