Document existing behaviour by exploring the application hands-on and interviewing subject-matter experts, then turn that knowledge into clear, reusable documentation.
Build and maintain a feature inventory mapping desktop-platform capabilities to their web-platform equivalents, keeping traceability current as both evolve.
Document client change requests in Jira using our standard ticket structure: solution description, original client request, estimations, acceptance criteria, release notes, and linked support tickets, with correct billable and non-billable classification.
Follow and help enforce our ticket workflow and authorization steps so that work enters development complete and approved.
Define and maintain documentation standards, templates, and page structures so the documentation stays consistent and easy to navigate.
