Enterprise Integration Toolkit: Blueprint

Implementation | Blueprint

Capture, analyze, and document requirements and processes that address business goals in a manner that is consistent with/and leverages the capability of the packaged solution; refine project plan to capture revised tasks, deliverables, and estimates based on experience; Train project team in capabilities of selected software application's functionality; Document detailed functional and non-functional requirements and scope; Draft high-level design of how the new system will meet the functional requirements; Document high-level required conversions and interfaces; Identify gaps in software solution and draft high-level design of proposed alternatives for addressing gaps (including reports and extensions)

	Step	Tools
1	Manage the project 4 Implement project management standards: manage the plan, issues, status meetings and change control using templates provided and adapted from planning phase.	Process for gathering and reporting lessons learned
2	Secure signoffs 4 Secure signoff of key deliverables using adapted acceptance form from planning phase.
3	Drive project to business case 4 Assure project is in sync with business case.
4	Information assurance implementation 4 Support system security engineering, develop and implement information assurance (IA) policies and procedures and develop and conduct IA training.	Information Assurance Roadmap Information Assurance Guide
5	Maintain project status 4 Hold regular project status and steering committee meetings, and document status and minutes using adapted templates from planning and preparation phase
6	Create detailed project plan 4 Create detailed project plan for design phase of project.
7	Compare interface requirements with existing interfaces 4 Review existing DoD logistics systems information and interfaces to understand existing system interfaces and update SV-1, Systems Interface Description, and SV-3 System to System Matrix.	Sample Logistics Systems Database
8	Review Existing System Support 4 Review and update systems architecture products in concert with the BEA-Log systems architecture.	BEA-Log Repository
9	Develop System Performance Parameters Matrix (SV-7) 4 Detail the performance characteristics of system hardware and software elements.
10	Train project team 4 Provide overview training on the software for the project team. Also train the project team on the implementation methodology, providing details and specifics, for design phase.	RICE Process Reference RICE Development Process & Procedures RICE Functional Spec Template RICE Technical Design Spec Template RICE Object Overview and Approval Template RICE Project Overview Template
11	Manage the project teams 4 Assure all team leads and members understand what tasks are to be accomplished during the requirements phase.
