• Produce Functional Design documents, that aligns user experience journeys and user interface with required back-end integrations, configurations, business rules, data model and state machine changes to be implemented in a solution.
  
• In scope of Functional Design, define integration flows [for Solution E2E and localized user/agent journeys], impacts on solution architecture components, API impacts, to define orchestration and data transformation rules, reference data sources, front-end translation mechanisms, etc.
  
• Ensure that Functional Design and integration flows are aligned with Solution Architecture guidelines and principals, Security and Performance guidelines.
  
• Ensure traceability and coverage of requirements by Functional Design.
  
• Review Functional Design and get its approval by Client's Authority board, that includes technical and business stakeholders.
  
• Ensure handover of Functional Design to Development phase by walking the Development team through the design and providing clarification of user stories/requirements.
  
• Supporting Development and Test teams during their effort estimations, low-level design, development, and testing activities.
  
• Amend Functional Design to optimize it based on Development team feedback.
  
• Reflect Functional Design in E2E Baseline Solution Design to increment the solution documentation with new designs.
  
• Support Solution Transition to the client and to the Production Teams.
  
• Follow-up final users in the system homologation process and present workshop sessions regarding newly implemented features.
  
• Provide user and functional support on application issues during warranty period.
