Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse business options to plan, develop and manage solution architecture systems integration across multiple architectures 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. 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 relevant technologies in the context of the requirement
- 1.4. Assess a range of alternative interdisciplinary concepts and the effect of their attributes on the design requirements
- 1.5. Prepare a solutions architecture plan with possible solutions and alternative solutions
2. Develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple architectures
- 2.1. Evaluate system element interfaces and the sources of complexity for the interface management of the system across multiple architectures
- 2.2. Develop a process and appropriate techniques to be adopted for the interface management of system elements for solution architecture
- 2.3. Produce a control process of the system element interfaces of the management system
- 2.4. Liaise and arbitrate between stakeholders where there are conflicts in the 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 ensure viable integration process
- 3.3. Manage system integration plan and diagnose complex faults
- 3.4. Document fault conditions, report to appropriate person and follow up corrective actions
- 3.5. Prepare evidence for customer acceptance and certification of the 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 the stakeholder groups of the impending implementation
- 4.2. Evaluate the impact of the proposed project solutions on customers and enterprise
- 4.3. Manage solution architecture activities as part of an overall project plan and monitor solution architecture risks
- 4.4. Manage the amendments to solution architecture processes to meet the needs of the project and apply necessary corrective actions
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.

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:
prepare an architecture plan with solutions and alternative solutions
develop interface requirements for effective solutions across multiple architectures
manage solution architecture systems integration
analyse impact of proposed project solutions on customers and enterprise
prepare evidence for customer acceptance and certification of the system integration management plan
produce final project management requirements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
site where the development and management of solution architecture systems integration across multiple architectures may be conducted
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 implementing system integration
direct observation of the candidate performing a systematic approach to test and analysis of problems arising
review of evaluations, plans 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:
ICTTEN7221A Manage end to end architectural solutions across multiple domains.
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.
