You lead requirements elicitation together with Customer Journey Experts, architects and engineering squads and describe expected IT-service behaviour using domain language and Gherkin scenarios.<\/p> <p>Your responsibility does not stop when requirements are documented. You maintain traceability from the original business requirement through functional design and implementation to end-to-end validation, ensuring that the delivered SEPA IT service behaves as intended and meets the agreed functional and non-functional requirements.<\/p> <p>This extends the IT BA Way of Work, which defines elicitation, analysis, documentation, modelling and verification of delivered IT solutions as core IT BA responsibilities.<\/p> <p><strong>Your Role and Work Environment<\/strong><\/p> <p>SEPA services support high-volume and business-critical payment processes. These services operate within a regulated and continuously evolving European payments ecosystem.<\/p> <p>In this role, you contribute to initiatives involving areas such as:<br>-SEPA Credit Transfer<br>-SEPA Instant Credit Transfer<br>-SEPA Direct Debit<\/p> <p>You work across domains and squads to ensure that requirements are understood consistently, functional dependencies are transparent, and the intended solution can be delivered safely and effectively.<\/p> <p><strong>Your Role and Work Environment<\/strong><\/p> <p><strong>Requirements Engineering:<\/strong><\/p> <p>You take the lead in eliciting requirements for SEPA IT services.<\/p> <p>You work with Customer Journey Experts, Product Leads, architects, Risk, Compliance and engineering squads to understand the business problem or opportunity, regulatory obligation and expected behaviour of the IT service.<\/p> <p>Requirements are not created in isolation. You facilitate conversations until there is a shared understanding between Business and Tech.<\/p> <p><strong>You:<\/strong><br>&#8211; Elicit business, architecture, IT, regulatory, functional and non-functional requirements.<br>&#8211; Challenge ambiguous, conflicting, incomplete or untestable requirements.<br>&#8211; Analyse the As-Is and To-Be processes and identify gaps, dependencies and impacts.<br>&#8211; Facilitate requirement workshops with CJEs, architects and squads.<br>&#8211; Establish acceptance criteria before implementation begins.<br>&#8211; Prioritize requirements, for example using MoSCoW.<br>&#8211; Translate requirements into scenarios using Gherkin, expressed in domain language understandable by Business and Technology.<br>&#8211; Use scenarios as a mechanism for discussion and shared understanding, rather than treating Gherkin simply as test documentation.<br>&#8211; Maintain scenarios throughout refinement, E2E design, development and validation.<br>&#8211; The IT BA Way of Work explicitly identifies requirements elicitation, categorization, prioritization and techniques such as story mapping, impact mapping and epic\/feature\/story slicing as part of the role.<\/p> <p><strong>Non-Functional Requirements<\/strong><\/p> <p>A key responsibility of the SEPA IT BA is to ensure that the solution does not only provide the correct payment functionality, but also delivers the quality characteristics required of a mission-critical payment service.<\/p> <p>You lead the identification, clarification and validation of non-functional requirements together with the relevant engineering, architecture, security, risk and operational stakeholders.<\/p> <p><strong>Tests and Validates<\/strong><\/p> <p>The IT BA verifies that the delivered IT-solution meets the requirements, supported by use case translation into high level test cases.<\/p> <p><strong>Performance and Scalability<\/strong><\/p> <p>&#8211; Establish measurable requirements and perform the validation for End-to-end response time, Processing latency, Transaction throughput, Peak volumes, Concurrent processing, Batch processing windows, Capacity and scalability and Timeout behaviour and thresholds.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>E2E Performance, Quality and Defect Triage<\/strong><\/p> <p>You establish and chair IT-service defect triage for the SEPA services within your responsibility.<\/p> <p>The objective is not simply to distribute defects, but to establish the functional root cause, affected requirement and accountable component.<\/p> <p><strong>Together with representatives of the contributing squads, you:<\/strong><br>&#8211; Review failed automated IT-service tests.<br>&#8211; Review findings from exploratory testing.<br>&#8211; Determine the violated requirement or scenario.<br>&#8211; Analyse the failure across application boundaries.<br>&#8211; Identify the root cause.<br>&#8211; Assign ownership to the appropriate squad.<br>&#8211; Determine whether requirements or scenarios require clarification.<br>&#8211; Track resolution and re-validation.<\/p> <p>Squads outside the immediate organizational area should participate where their applications contribute to the affected IT service.<\/p><\/div>\n\r\n<h4 class=\"cx_h4 cx2_requirements\">Requirements<\/h4>\n<div
