As a Business Analyst, you work together with a multidisciplinary development team of about six to eight people. The development teams in Product Development work according to the Scrum methodology.

This is how we create new modules, develop new options or improve existing functionality. Because we work according to the CI/CD principle, the functionality can be rolled out to customers very quickly and we also can get feedback very quickly.
