Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Beginning with the discovery phase of the product by talking with stakeholders to understand customers current experience with the product and what causes them annoyance. Then discuss with a technical team what the problem is so that technological workflows can be made for potential improvements. Then use AGILE to break down what needs to be done into small tasks and bring this to the technical team to execute
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes I was given a good level of responsibility by working and leading a real project which is being implemented at Tesco. There was lots of support and guidance so there was always someone to reach out to for extra help and to support with the project.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
