Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The first few months involved training on how the company's products functioned and how my team managed the projects that came in. - I now work on different projects that have come from the business, involving changes or new requirements. The aim is to find the best way to solve these requests and break them down into more technical parts which will be passed to the developers to implement. This cycle will continue until the end result is reached and ready to present to the business.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The first month where more about training but when I understood how things worked I started getting more responsibilities such as becoming PM for some projects.
