•Finalize the charter and get sign off from the
SME Group.
2. Requirements Document
(3C1)
3. Technical Specifications
(3S2]
•Business and IT context and requirements for
technical architecture.
4. Alternative Solutions (3S1)
•Identification and evaluation and budgetary
estimates. Identify the selection criteria
5. Solution Selection (3F1)
•Selected architecture components documented
against the UT Austin reference architecture.
6. Plan to Procure, Deploy, and
Transition Staff (3T)

Process Recap: A lot of work!
Modernizing our technical architecture and bringing new
systems online is a huge effort
Who helped TADS be successful?
• Just over 100 SMEs – over 30 on more than one group
• 9 from Team IBM
Time Investment
• Over 90 SME Sessions
• Over 1,800 hours spent in sessions
• 3,778 hours devoted to “homework”
