+ help identify high level needs and epics to influence the product roadmap and how the backlog is prioritised
+ map the experience of users and highlight areas where it can be improved

+ At sift candidates will be assessed against experience and alongside your work history the panel will score your application against the following criteria:

2. experience of using different methods of telling the user stories
3. experience of having difficult conversations with stakeholders and trying to influence their decision making based on user needs
