- Analyze and map end-to-end business processes and related data flows in SAP ECC (e.g., order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, production/logistics—depending on scope).

Backlog & Delivery Support
- Create and maintain a prioritized backlog; support release planning and effort/value discussions.
- Coordinate and steer external consultants/developers from a functional perspective (scope clarification, requirement refinement, review of deliverables).
