Migration Planning & Dry-Run Execution: Lead business analysis for migration scope, source profiling, eligibility rules, sequencing, and work packages; support migration dry runs by defining representative datasets, reconciliation controls, delta behaviors, and exception scenarios.

Security & Entitlement Modeling: Elicit and validate role-based, group, workspace, and restricted-access security requirements, ensuring accurate entitlement and inherited-security designs.

End-to-End Traceability & Testing Support: Own and maintain full traceability from approved requirements through solution design, test scenarios, test cases, defects, and business sign-off across integration, SIT, UAT, and migration testing.
