• Contribute to defining acceptance criteria that objectively determine the completion of a deliverable or development milestone.

Post‑Production Follow‑Up

• Provide functional support after solution deployment and propose continuous improvements based on user feedback analysis.
• Analyze field feedback on physical products (reliability, installation experience, real-world usage) to inform future iterations.

Change Management

• Assess the impact of changes on timelines, costs, technical risks, and product development milestones.
