Managed Solutions Identification and Build
Establish and maintain identified products and services (technology, business processes and workflows) in line with enterprise requirements covering design, development, procurement/sourcing and partnering with vendors. Manage configuration, test preparation, testing, requirements management and maintenance of business processes, applications, information/data, infrastructure and services.
Purpose
Ensure agile and scalable delivery of digital products and services. Establish timely and cost-effective solutions (technology, business processes and workflows) capable of supporting enterprise strategic and operational objectives.
Management practices
BAI03.01 Design high-level solutions.
Develop and document high-level designs for the solution in terms of technology, business processes and workflows. Use agreed and appropriate phased or rapid Agile development techniques. Ensure alignment with the I&T strategy and enterprise architecture. Reassess and update the designs when significant issues occur during detailed design or building phases, or as the solution evolves. Apply a user centric approach; ensure that stakeholders actively participate in the design and approve each version.
BAI03.02 Design detailed solution components.
Develop, document and elaborate detailed designs progressively. Use agreed and appropriate phased or rapid Agile development techniques, addressing all components (business processes and related automated and manual controls, supporting I&T applications, infrastructure services and technology products, and partners/suppliers). Ensure that the detailed design includes internal and external service level agreements (SLAs) and operational level agreements (OLAs).
BAI03.03 Develop solution components.
Develop solution components progressively in a separate environment, in accordance with detailed designs following standards and requirements for development and documentation, quality assurance (QA), and approval. Ensure that all control requirements in the business processes, supporting I&T applications and infrastructure services, services and technology products, and partner/vendor services are addressed.
BAI03.04 Procure solution components.
Procure solution components, based on the acquisition plan, in accordance with requirements and detailed designs, architecture principles and standards, and the enterprise’s overall procurement and contract procedures, QA requirements, and approval standards. Ensure that all legal and contractual requirements are identified and addressed by the vendor.
BAI03.05 Build solutions.
Install and configure solutions and integrate with business process activities. During configuration and integration of hardware and infrastructure software, implement control, security, privacy and auditability measures to protect resources and ensure availability and data integrity. Update the product or services catalogue to reflect the new solutions.
BAI03.06 Perform quality assurance (QA).
Develop, resource and execute a QA plan aligned with the QMS to obtain the quality specified in the requirements definition and in the enterprise’s quality policies and procedures.
BAI03.07 Prepare for solution testing.
Establish a test plan and required environments to test the individual and integrated solution components. Include the business processes and supporting services, applications and infrastructure.
BAI03.08 Execute solution testing.
During development, execute testing continually (including control testing), in accordance with the defined test plan and development practices in the appropriate environment. Engage business process owners and end users in the test team. Identify, log and prioritize errors and issues identified during testing.
BAI03.09 Manage changes to requirements.
Track the status of individual requirements (including all rejected requirements) throughout the project life cycle. Manage the approval of changes to requirements.
BAI03.10 Maintain solutions.
Develop and execute a plan for the maintenance of solution and infrastructure components. Include periodic reviews against business needs and operational requirements.
BAI03.11 Define IT products and services and maintain the service
Define and agree on new or changed IT products or services and service level options. Document new or changed product and service definitions and service level options to be updated in the products and services
portfolio.
BAI03.12 Design solutions based on the defined development
Design, develop and implement solutions with the appropriate development methodology (i.e., waterfall, Agile or bimodal I&T), in accordance with the overall strategy and requirements.
Skills
Solution architecture ARCH
The design and communication of high-level structures to enable and guide the design and development of integrated solutions that meet current and future business needs. In addition to technology components, solution architecture encompasses changes to service, process, organisation, and operating models. The provision of comprehensive guidance on the development of, and modifications to, solution components to ensure that they take account of relevant architectures, strategies, policies, standards and practices (including security) and that existing and planned solution components remain compatible.
Systems design DESN
The design of systems to meet specified requirements, compatible with agreed systems architectures, adhering to corporate standards and within constraints of performance and feasibility. The identification of concepts and their translation into a design which forms the basis for systems construction and verification. The design or selection of components. The development of a complete set of detailed models, properties, and/or characteristics described in a form suitable for implementation. The adoption and adaptation of systems design lifecycle models based on the context of the work and selecting appropriately from predictive (plan-driven) approaches or adaptive (iterative/agile) approaches.
Systems development management DLMG
The planning, estimating and execution of programmes of systems development work to time, budget and quality targets. The identification of the resources needed for systems development and how this will be met with an effective supply capacity. The alignment of systems development activity and deliverables with agreed architectures and standards. The development of roadmaps to communicate future systems development plans. The adoption and adaptation of systems development lifecycle models based on the context of the work and selecting appropriately from predictive (plan-driven) approaches or adaptive (iterative/agile) approaches.
User experience design HCEV
The process of iterative design to enhance user satisfaction by improving the usability and accessibility provided when interacting with a system, product or service. The design of users’ digital and offline tasks, interactions and interfaces to meet usability and accessibility requirements. The refinement of designs in response to user-centred evaluation and feedback and communication of the design to those responsible for design, development and implementation.
