Technical Design Assurance gives quality control, risk management, technical confidence and expert practitioner support, over ICT and Cloud Digital programme delivery, providing the confirmation and confidence that your programme is being delivered in-line with your strategy,, policy and meeting technical, security and non-functional requirements, as well as addressing and managing risks in handling and processing information.
Typically, this will look across the full range of technical design products, at a range of measures, including:
- Fit to Programme/Solution Requirements, and Contracted baseline.
- How Requirements have been flowed down to design teams/areas (Design Integrity).
- How well High Level and Low Level Designs are synchronised.
- Whether there is completeness in the whole design framework, end to end solution outcomes.
- Alignment to corporate targets and strategy (e.g. Re-Use, Preferred Products, ICT Strategic Principles).
- Resource allocations and project planning is suitable to meet the design goals.
- Suitability to inform the next stage of the delivery process (e.g. the Build stage).
- Outputs aligned to defined Product Descriptions, and comply with programme product breakdown structure (Quality Management).
Suitable to be used to inform the Testing Process (e.g. Identify what to test, how to test it). - Identifying, aligning and embedding with the governance framework to provide control and confidence in the technical assurance.
- Provision of tools and processes to support measurement and alignment (e.g. Maturity Models).
