Poornima Sridhar

I’m a Senior Business Analyst with 7+ years of experience in enterprise product environments, specializing in requirement validation, functional analysis, and stakeholder collaboration. I translate complex system requirements into actionable functional solutions that keep delivery aligned with business goals.

In my current role, I validate business requirements using acceptance criteria and functional validation scenarios, identifying gaps, ambiguities, and inconsistencies early to improve requirement clarity. I actively review and validate user stories during Agile sprint ceremonies and support release planning by ensuring business use cases are feature-ready across releases. Through continuous validation and bidirectional requirement traceability practices, I contributed to reducing downstream defects by ~30%.

I build structured documentation that strengthens requirement completeness and testability, including BRD/FRD creation and rigorous requirement traceability aligned with design. I also help streamline work by leveraging AI-assisted tools (Windsurf AI) to improve requirement validation and user story interpretation.

I enjoy working in cross-functional setups that include R&D, development, QA, and IT automation teams, and I’ve mentored junior team members while managing task allocation to support timely delivery. My Hospital Management System exposure project further strengthened my end-to-end thinking, from stakeholder needs and scope definition to functional/non-functional requirements and supporting UML/ER/data flow artifacts.
