Describe the meetings you would hold and the associated activities you would complete to about the business operations of the groups your project will support.

"The first thing I do when I have the opportunity to learn a new business area is research. I focus on understanding industry standards, industry terms, and common challenges. I then meet with my new stakeholders or clients to discuss the scope of the project, goals, timing, and any other concerns.

If time permits, I like to shadow the people in the end-user roles my solutions impact the most. This helps me understand how the delivery of new solutions will affect them going forward. I also gain access to their systems and documentation and review them on my own."
