Lead the product side of discovery: confirm the MVP requirement baseline, capability sequencing and dependencies, Definition of Ready/Done and the acceptance matrix.

Turn the product vision and roadmap into prioritized epics and features; with the Business Analysts, keep user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira ready at least one sprint ahead.

Facilitate PI planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews and demos with client stakeholders and the EPAM team.

Prepare milestone acceptance with the client's product, architecture and quality/compliance owners, and drive fast decisions on blocking questions.

Shape key user journeys with the UX/UI Designer and the client design team: shipment setup, alarm handling, investigations, release and disposition.

Define product KPIs and executive dashboard measures with the client.

Excellent stakeholder management, workshop facilitation and communication with business, technical and executive audiences.
