# Gerald Petschk
Business analyst turning abstract business requirements into clear deliverables.

## About

Gerald Petschk turns abstract business needs into actionable technical tasks at Eviden Austria. Working primarily in the insurance sector, he builds solution concepts and GUI prototypes that bridge the gap between business stakeholders and software teams.

He believes projects fail from a lack of clarity, not technology. In his talk on [the "why" of product requirements](/videos/1934-why-the-what-and-how-of-a-requirement-are-not-enough), Gerald outlines how missing context derails agile workflows. He argues for a continuous discovery process that prevents developers from having to make strategic product decisions in the middle of delivery.
