Description
This unit covers effective use of the agreed organisational enterprise architecture tools to permit the implementation of the enterprise architecture by various elements of the organisation. It includes operating enterprise architecture tools, and using operational, systems and technical enterprise architecture tools. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Operate enterprise architecture software tools
- 1.1 Enterprise architecture software tools are selected and used in accordance with organisational requirements.
- 1.2 The enterprise information technology support system is used to operate the selected enterprise architecture tools as required.
2. Use enterprise architecture operational tools
- 2.1 Descriptions are prepared for high level operational concepts and operational node connectivity.
- 2.2 Operational information exchange matrices are prepared.
- 2.3 A command relationship chart is prepared and agreed upon.
- 2.4 Business activities, relationships between activities, inputs and outputs are modelled.
- 2.5 Business activity sequences and timings are prepared in accordance with the organisation’s business rules, business activity reforms and critical sequences.
- 2.6 A logical data model of business activity is prepared for submission to stakeholders.
3. Use enterprise architecture systems tools
- 3.1 Systems descriptions are prepared and agreed with stakeholders.
- 3.2 Systems matrices are developed to meet project requirements and agreed with stakeholders where required.
- 3.3 System technology forecasts are prepared and agreed to.
- 3.4 System rules for the business architecture are modelled.
- 3.5 The physical implementation of the logical data model of the business activity is modelled to capture systems requirements.
4. Use enterprise architecture technical tools
- 4.1 A technical system profile is created, and support levels required for the development of the intended system are gauged in consultation with stakeholders.
- 4.2 An information technology strategy is developed for intended system development.
- 4.3 Enterprise information technology performance requirements from enterprise business requirements are derived so that appropriate standards, configurations and products relevant to the intended system are developed.
- 4.4 a technology standards report is created in which standards are described and forecast in accordance with business guidelines.
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 in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.
Systems descriptions may include:
system interface description
systems communication description
systems functionality description
system evolution description
systems state transition description
systems event/trace description
Stakeholders may include:
users
clients
union and association representatives
government
Ministers
public sector bodies that set standards such as information security standards, fraud control standards, ethics etc
Systems matrices may include:
systemstosystems matrix
operation activity to system function traceability matrix
system information exchange matrix
system performance parameters matrix
Support levels may be affected by:
evolution/dissemination of enterprise architecture framework for organisation as a whole

continuing staff turnover
Information technology strategy assesses:
the likely impact on the development of the intended system of:
information technology legislation
information technology design principles and patterns
enterprise architecture framework components

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessment must confirm the ability to:
create and document at the required enterprise architecture using the agreed set of enterprise architecture tools
use enterprise architecture tools in a range of (3 or more) contexts (or occasions, over time) for an extended period with extensive reference to representative stakeholders
Consistency in performance
Evidence must be gathered over time in a range of contexts to ensure the person can achieve the unit outcome and apply the competency in different situations or environments
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Context of assessment
Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.
Specific resources for assessment
legislation, policy, procedures and protocols relating to enterprise architecture
capacity for monitoring and sampling over an extended period with extensive reference to representatives
case studies and workplace scenarios to capture the range of situations likely to be encountered when using enterprise architecture tools
