Evaluate Technical Solutions (User Story)

Purpose:

Supplier technical solutions are evaluated to confirm that contractual requirements continue to be met.

Objective:

<?>

Description:

Technical reviews (e.g., architectural evaluations) are performed throughout the project lifecycle to gain confidence that the requirements, architecture, and supplier technical solutions are capable of guiding a development that results in a product or service that provides the required capability. This activity should be integrated with risk management activities. Mature organizations typically perform technical reviews using different proven techniques depending on the type of review. They broaden the basis of the review to include other stakeholder needs, expectations, and constraints.

Evaluate Technical Solutions focuses on the following:

• • Selecting supplier technical solutions (i.e., preliminary designs, detailed designs, design implementations, delivered increments of component functionality) based on sound decision-making criteria
  • Analyzing selected supplier technical solutions
  • Conducting technical reviews using the results of the analysis
