- Unit 1: Determine the conformance of solutions design options with requirements3
- 1.1Solution design options and requirements documentation are assessed to determine which will best meet the stated requirements
- 1.2Various work products assist with soliciting and evaluating different design options
- 1.3A solution design assessment is produced to demonstrate how well the possible design solutions meet the stated requirements
- Unit 2: Allocate requirements to specific releases or solutions components4
- 2.1Various work products are analysed with stakeholders to determine requirement priorities and allocate the requirements to a release schedule
- 2.2Different release options are designed to maximise the possible business value given the options and alternatives
- 2.3Different implementation approaches are planned and designed to maximise the possible business value given the options and alternatives
- 2.4A recommended release or delivery strategy is produced to assign requirements to a release schedule
- Unit 3: Determine organizational readiness to effectively operate the new solution4
- 3.1Various work products are analysed to determine the organisational readiness to implement the recommended solution
- 3.2An organisational readiness assessment is conducted to assess the organisation regarding the recommended solution
- 3.3An optimal deployment strategy is established to ensure the effective implementation of the solution
- 3.4Work products are produced to document the organisational readiness and deployment strategy
- Unit 4: Validate that the deployed solution meets the business objectives7
- 4.1The deployed solution is compared to the validated requirements document to validate whether the verified and deployed solution meets the agreed business objectives
- 4.2Acceptance criteria, including the level of conformance to requirements that are acceptable, are defined to determine how the deployed solution will be validated
- 4.3Defects and shortcomings in the deployed solution are determined to identify where the solution does not meet the business requirements
- 4.4The impact of the defects and shortcomings is analysed to determine their effect on the business
- 4.5Corrective actions are defined and established to fix defects and shortcomings
- 4.6The implementation of corrective actions is validated to ensure that the defects have been fixed
- 4.7Work products are produced to ensure that the solution has been validated
- Unit 5: Assess the value of the solution as deployed to the business5
- 5.1The deployed solution is measured against agreed metrics to assess whether business objectives have been met
- 5.2The actual project costs are compared to the originally estimated costs to highlight any additional costs that have been incurred
- 5.3The actual benefits of the deployed solution are compared to the originally estimated benefits to highlight whether the estimated benefits have indeed accrued
- 5.4A post-implementation review is conducted to assess the success of a project and provide benchmarks for continuous improvement
- 5.5Solution impacts are communicated to all stakeholders to facilitate organisational learning and continuous improvement
