Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Develop plan to support architectural design process	1.1 Prepare a plan with techniques to support the architectural design process and communicate the solution to different stakeholder groups 1.2 Analyse business options to support architectural design trade-offs for optimal design solution 1.3 Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of required technologies in context of the requirement 1.4 Assess a range of interdisciplinary concept ideas and effect their attributes would have on the design requirements 1.5 Prepare a solutions architecture plan detailing all possible solutions
2. Develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple architectures	2.1 Evaluate system element interfaces and sources of complexity for interface management of the system across multiple architectures 2.2 Develop a process and required techniques to be adopted for interface management of system elements for solution architecture 2.3 Produce a control process of system element interfaces of the management system 2.4 Liaise and arbitrate between stakeholders where there are conflicts in definition of interfaces
3. Manage solution architecture systems integration	3.1 Evaluate suitability of system integration, verification and validation plans for solution architecture from requirements 3.2 Develop systems integration, verification and validation plans for complex systems to confirm viable integration process 3.3 Manage system integration plan and diagnose complex faults 3.4 Document fault conditions, report to relevant person and follow up corrective actions 3.5 Prepare evidence for customer acceptance and certification of system integration management plan 3.6 Plan and manage a transition to operational activity for the solution architecture
4. Manage solution implementation and notify stakeholder groups	4.1 Produce final project management requirements against solution architecture plan and notify stakeholder groups of impending implementations 4.2 Evaluate impact of proposed project solutions on customers and enterprise 4.3 Manage solution architecture activities as part of overall project plan and monitor solution architecture risks 4.4 Manage amendments to solution architecture processes to meet needs of the project and apply necessary corrective actions

Foundation Skills

This section describes those language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills that are essential to performance but not explicit in the performance criteria.

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Oral communication	Participates in verbal exchanges using tone and language required for the audience and environment
Reading	Organises, evaluates and interprets a range of complex documentation such as software and hardware manuals
Writing	Prepares workplace documentation, including recommendations, incorporating technical language to communicate complex information clearly and effectively
Teamwork	Selects and uses required conventions and protocols when communicating with stakeholders in a range of work contexts Collaborates and negotiates to achieve agreeable outcomes in potentially contentious situations
Planning and organising	Operates from a broad conceptual plan, developing operational detail in stages, regularly reviewing priorities and performance during implementation, identifying and addressing issues Takes responsibility for high-impact decisions in complex situations involving many variables and constraints Uses formal analytical and lateral thinking techniques to resolve domain, technology and logistics problems Monitors outcomes of decisions, considering results from a range of perspectives and identifying key concepts and principles and their impact on customers and enterprise
Technology	Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses this to prepare proposals

Unit Mapping Information

Supersedes and is equivalent to ICTTEN805 Manage solution architecture and impacts in line with organisational processes.
