Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse business options and design and implement end to end architectural solutions for a telecommunications service provider.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Evaluate tools and techniques for architectural design
- 1.1. Apply the principles of architectural design within the lifecycle of application software1.2. Develop a process to apply appropriate tools and techniques for architectural design of end to end solutions1.3. Evaluate and select appropriate analysis and selection techniques to develop a partition between discipline technologies and derive discipline specific requirements
2. Analyse design options for optimal solutions
- 2.1. Analyse business options to support architectural design trade offs for an optimal design solution2.2. Develop alternative architectural designs that are traceable to the requirements2.3. Evaluate a range of architectural solutions and justify the selection of the optimum solution
3. Develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple domains
- 3.1. Evaluate system element interfaces and the sources of complexity for the interface management of the system across multiple domains3.2. Develop a process and appropriate techniques to be adopted for the interface management of system elements for end to end architectural solutions3.3. Produce a control process for the system element interfaces of the management system3.4. Liaise and arbitrate between stakeholders where there are conflicts in the definition of interfaces
4. Manage end to end systems integration
- 4.1. Evaluate suitability of system integration, verification and validation plans for end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains4.2. Develop systems integration, verification and validation plans for complex systems to ensure viable integration process4.3. Manage system integration plan and diagnose complex faults4.4. Document fault conditions, report to appropriate person and follow up corrective actions4.5. Prepare evidence for customer acceptance and certification of the system integration management plan4.6. Plan and manage a transition to operational activity for the end to end solution
5. Incorporate components of an architecture from a third party
- 5.1. Negotiate with vendor for acceptable vendor agreements and agreed roles and responsibilities of each party5.2. Manage vendor within a clearly defined process for dealing with defects and scope changes5.3. Plan beyond delivery of specific elements and establish requirements for ongoing maintenance and support from vendor
6. Manage requirements for the architecture solution
- 6.1. Negotiate minimum component costs with vendors and analyse vendor component costs as part of the assessment for the appropriateness of vendors quote6.2. Manage the vendor selection process to provide high level of solution and support costs
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
System element interfaces may include:
requirements posed on the system element
services to be provided by the system element
specified connected devices and interfaces
system elements that can support several interfaces.
Sources of complexity may include:
different domains
multinational programmes
multiple suppliers
novel technology.
Interface management may include:
integration with existing system
fine-tuning capabilities in multi-operating environments
links to legacy systems.
System elements may include:
relationships:
contractual
customer
development
hierarchical.
Systems integration may include:
bringing together of the component subsystems into one system and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system
process of linking together different computing systems and software applications physically or functionally.
Validation plans may include:
identification of method
interaction between the stakeholders
timing for each activity.
Vendor agreements may include:
dealing with defects and scope changes
milestones
objectives and acceptance criteria
roles and responsibilities
scope.
Roles and responsibilities may include:
accountabilities
dependencies
impact on delivery.
Component costs may refer to:
appropriateness
completeness
correctness.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
evaluate tools and techniques for architectural design
analyse design options for optimal solutions
develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple domains
manage end to end systems integration
incorporate components of an architecture from a third party
manage requirements for the architecture solution.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
site where architecture solutions across multiple domains can be managed
simulation software tools currently used in industry
vendor products, specifications, equipment and enterprise policy required for the activity.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate managing end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains
review of evaluations, documents and evidence for customer acceptance prepared by the candidate
oral or written questioning of the candidate to assess required knowledge.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplaces and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTTEN7222A Manage solution architecture and impacts in line with organisational processes.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
