Create and maintain non-functional requirement related to capacity requirements, user projections, transaction projection and volumes, performance requirements, security requirements, and operational requirement. Groom low-level design / in-sprint design together with Technical Lead and Development team within a squad. Create and/or review user stories including clearly articulating the acceptance criteria. Review and approve user stories per sprint, making sure that the user stories aligned to created architecture design, acceptance criteria, and non-functional requirements. Create and maintain architecture logs and architecture decision records. Review estimation provided by Technical Lead or Development team.
