      Business analyst intern

      During my 10-week Business Analyst internship at Datacom, I worked on multiple projects, including the Workspace Migration initiative. I was responsible for preparing Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), managing backlogs, and contributing to technical documentation. My role involved closely collaborating with stakeholders to ensure project requirements were effectively communicated and aligned with business objectives.I applied Agile methodologies, actively participating in sprint planning, backlog management, and retrospectives, ensuring continuous improvement and adaptability. I also utilized tools such as Azure DevOps for tracking tasks and Miro for designing process flowcharts, contributing to smooth project handovers and effective team collaboration.This internship allowed me to deepen my knowledge of business analysis, improve my technical documentation skills, and enhance my understanding of Agile frameworks. It provided me with hands-on experience in cross-functional collaboration, project management, and problem-solving in a dynamic IT environment. Show less
