• Assess technical feasibility of proposed requirements and communicate tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders

• Maintain technical documentation to facilitate knowledge transfer and long-term adoption of solutions
• Acknowledge and learn from past mistakes, fostering a culture of continuous improvement
