* Perform gap, root\-cause, impact and options analysis to identify inefficiencies, risks, control weaknesses and improvement opportunities

* Assist with evaluating solution options, existing capabilities and vendor proposals against documented business needs
* Support prototyping, walkthroughs, backlog refinement, sprint activities and solution demonstrations.
* Provide analysis support during implementation and help resolve requirement\-related questions or scope ambiguity.
