- Document detailed business requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria in plain language that both engineers and domain experts understand.
Analyse Data & Validate Solutions
- Work with data engineers to specify data sources - SCADA, PI historians, LIMS, ERP/MMS and define dataquality checks.
- Thorough analysis to validate assumptions and establish baselines for KPIs such as OEE, MTBF, NPT or emissions intensity.
- Partner with QA to design test scenarios that reflect realworld edge cases.
Support Agile Delivery
- Groom and prioritise the backlog; ensure stories are Ready before sprint planning.
- Clarify domain questions for developers and track resolution of defects or change requests.
- Maintain traceability from requirements to deployed functionality and regulatory mandates.
Engage Stakeholders
- Present sprint reviews to offshore/onshore asset teams, IT leadership and client CXOs.
- Prepare concise artefacts - process maps, data dictionaries, training decksto drive user adoption.
- Champion business value throughout the project lifecycle, flagging scope creep and recommending phased delivery when needed.
Continuous Improvement & Knowledge Sharing
- Stay current with digital oilfield trends (predictive maintenance, realtime production optimisation, digital twins).
- Share learnings via internal brownbags and contribute to the Oil &Gas practice playbook.
