Develop detailed design specifications and build (configure and/or develop RICE objects as appropriate) a solution that address all detailed requirements (defined in the Blueprint) in a manner that is consistent with the capability of the packaged solution. To do so, follow a proven methodology as provided by the SI as well as the methodology best practices and RICE Process defined in the EI Toolkit. Develop and communicate a detailed project plan for all Design & Build tasks; Use facilitation techniques and team understanding of best practices to jointly design, configure and document future business processes; Compare various alternatives to address gaps; Document recommended gap solutions and associated justification; Secure approval for all required Reports, Interfaces, Conversions and application Extensions (RICE) prior to beginning development; Install and test new hardware and network requirements; Configure and test application software; Develop and test all approved Reports, Interfaces, Conversions and software Extensions; Clean up legacy data; Establish roles and security profiles; Manage project plan and resources, provide updated status, and address any variances to plan; Test software application for compliance to all functional and non-functional requirements; Prepare to train end-users; Update Project Charter and Business Case, if necessary; Assess Risks & Update Mitigation Plan; Secure appropriate signoffs.
