Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Create common views for a specific business architecture
   • Relevant information for a specific business architecture is identified and summarised.
   • An integrated enterprise architecture dictionary is used.
   • An architecture compliance statement is prepared.
   • A capability maturity profile is prepared in consultation with stakeholders.
2. Create operational views for a specific business architecture
   • Descriptions are created/developed for a high level operational concept and operational node connectivity.
   • An operational information exchange matrix is prepared.
   • A command relationship chart is prepared and agreed to.
   • Business activities, relationships between activities, inputs and outputs are modelled.
   • The business activity sequence and timing is developed in accordance with the organisation’s business rules, business activity reforms and critical sequences.
   • A logical data model of the business activity is created/developed and agreed by stakeholders.
3. Create systems views for a specific business architecture
   • Systems descriptions are prepared and agreed with stakeholders.
   • Systems matrices are developed to meet project requirements and agreed with stakeholders where required.
   • A system technology forecast is prepared and agreed to.
   • System rules for the business architecture are modelled.
   • The physical implementation of the logical data model of the business activity is modelled to capture systems requirements.
4. Create technical views for a specific business architecture
   • A technical system profile is created, and support levels required for the development of the intended system are gauged in consultation with stakeholders.
   • An information technology strategy is developed for intended system development.
   • The enterprise information technology performance requirements from the enterprise business requirements are derived so that appropriate standards, configurations and products relevant to the intended system are developed.
   • A technology standards description/forecast is created in which standards are described and forecast in accordance with business guidelines.

Required Skills

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level required for this unit

undertaking technical writing using effective communication with diverse stakeholders including negotiation responding to diversity including gender and disability applying procedures relating to work health and safety and environment in the context of using an enterprise architecture framework

Required Knowledge

undertaking technical writing applying systems analysis using enterprise architecture software and hardware using effective communication with diverse stakeholders including negotiation responding to diversity including gender and disability applying procedures relating to work health and safety and environmental requirements in the context of using enterprise architecture tools

Evidence Required

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to create and document the required enterprise architecture using the agreed set of enterprise architecture tools use enterprise architecture tools in a range of 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
