ELEMENT

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Develop system design requirements

1.1 Produce system requirements specifications for a complex project involving enterprise and technology issues using the simplest possible technology and making the system modular

1.2 Resolve and negotiate requirement conflicts to establish a complete and consistent requirement set

1.3 Produce and develop acceptance criteria for requirements

1.4 Design a requirements management plan with categorisations, structures and sources of complexity

1.5 Develop a process to manage requirements, enabling users to influence future improvements

2. Produce system design based on requirements

2.1 Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of relevant technologies in context of the design requirement and needs for systems integration

2.2 Create range of alternative interdisciplinary concepts and assess their attributes

2.3 Plan for incorporation of later life-cycle design attributes while developing design requirements

2.4 Devise a system design strategy and approach, using tools and techniques to conduct functional analysis

2.5 Produce a set of parameters to track critical aspects of the design

2.6 Use documentation, modelling and simulation tools and techniques to represent a system or system element

2.7 Use complex simulations to evaluate design concepts for a system or system element

2.8 Produce a report to evaluate and advise on risks, suitability and limitations of models and simulations

2.9 Identify underlying domain-specific issues, strategy and approach to be adopted for ensuring system robustness

2.10 Produce a robust design using domain-specific strategy and approach for platform requirements and designs

3. Verify solution design and traceability

3.1 Align specific aspects of the design to original intent

3.2 Verify and track specific aspects of current design against original intent throughout the supply chain

3.3 Compare verification requirements with system requirements

3.4 Use change control and configuration management to implement remedial actions and change control for inconsistencies
