I must understand and model critical applications\u2014often legacy systems, sometimes poorly or not documented at all. My mission: to translate business needs into application features, ensuring a coherent, secure, and business-aligned digital transformation. To do this, I need visibility, autonomy, and effective collaboration with IT teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>
