within their workspace. They should be experts of computer technology as well as have
knowledge about information or computer science. Responsibility of experts of business system
specialism is conducting analysis of business in order for accessing the requirements of the
clients or users.
Working on SME:
They should act as SME for every user by utilizing selected tools of PMIS, leveraged to
track cost, contracts, risks and schedule of project. It is job of theirs to document the
requirements of their business in way that the solutions or technology could be determined. They
should develop as well as roll out the training programs which include creation of every manual
of training along with other related documentation which includes Operating Procedures. They
monitor the progress of the project, resolve the programs and also report to the management
regularly (Vazquez, et al., 2019). They define the processes of business along with related
requirements and scope of the system. They document non-functional as well as functional
requirements. Then ensure program data’s accuracy that is incorporated to the reports of the
project.

These experts support team with robust procedures and processes’ maintenance in
allowing for effective flow of work with standards and systems. They perform the testing of
product for ensuring quality of product is maintained. They contribute in new products’
implementation as well as effectively communicate between the external and internal
stakeholders for ensuing satisfaction of product is maintained (Cole, 2019). They assist to
identify operational or functional gaps in products of self-service through monitoring the
industry trends, prioritizing requests of customers and by competitive analysis. They oversee
every process of maintenance, business requirements’ development and test plans of user
acceptance. They track timelines, progress reports, deliverables, escalate issues and maintain
documentation. They take part in activities of UAT. They serve as SME to collaborate with the
documentation specialists and department trainers with respect to communication for any
enhancements or upgrades.
