- decomposing tasks into features,
- estimating workload, and
- identifying project risks.

Design (60% of the time)
- examining client’s docs and artifacts
- identifying business requirements,
- taking part in UI/UX design,
- designing the solution in terms of an API and technical requirements, and

- keeping track of arrangements with the backend team, and
- keeping the documents up to date.
