Build Team (Architects)

Solution architects and development architects plan and coordinate the development.

• Create functional specification

  Solution architects validate the requirements, approve or reject them, and document the requirements, the business cases, and the required new and changed functions in detail. They then create work packages from the requirements and write functional specifications for work packages.

• Assign functional specification to work packages and process structure

  In SAP Solution Manager, solution architects assign the functional specifications to the corresponding work packages. The IT scope is validated and changed if necessary by the solution architect and development architect. The work package is assigned to a wave, which determines the schedule of the work package deliverable. The development architect divides the work package into work items and assigns developers to them.

• Manage gaps

  Solution architects validate perceived gaps in the system and retrieve implementation recommendations.

• Define sprint scope

  Solution architects assign the approved work items to sprints.

During the development and test process, the solution architect constantly monitors the status of the work packages.
