What excites you about your new role at Precisely?

It’s going to be a learning experience for me. I will get to work closely with product managers, along with different stakeholders, to evaluate, evolve, prioritize, and document requirements to build the product.

Overall, it will help me to understand the full product and business lifecycle through interactions with different stakeholders.

What was your last role with the company and how did you prepare for your current role?

My last role was as a Technical architect – Quality management. Along with that, I was operating in the role of Product Owner for a Precisely Spectrum module as well. I learned the roles and responsibilities of the Product Owner position while working on that, which involved eliciting requirements with different stakeholders, creating user stories, giving demonstration of the product, and working closely with sales/presales team.

Since I was playing this role partially, I grew to like it as it involved interaction with various stakeholders and also provided me with a learning opportunity to better understand the business.
