process
security
etc.) by leveraging tools
automation
etc. * Understand various technical tools used in the project (third party as well as home-grown) to improve efficiencyproductivityAudit: * Conduct cross project technical audits and reviewsacross multiple accounts
as required to check adherence to architecture
design and coding best practicesSkill Examples: * Use domain/ industry knowledge to understand business requirements. Create POC to meet business requirements under guidance

• Use technology knowledge to analyse technology based on client's specific requirement analyse and understand existing implementations. Work on simple technology implementations (POC) under guidance guide the developers and enable them in the implementation of design into working software in the technology
• Use knowledge of Architecture Concepts and Principles to provide inputs to the practitioner towards building component solutions and deploy the solution as per the architecture under guidance
• Use knowledge of Design Patterns Tools and Principles to create low level design under guidance from the Architect for the given business requirements Review low level design created by team for maintainability (error handling ing etc.) of design define technical checklists for design and coding
• Use knowledge of Software Development Process Tools & Techniques/Scrum tools to increase productivity and develop efficient code. Constantly check for reusability of codes design and develop complex assets and provide technical consultancy related to these areas
• Use knowledge of Project Management Tools and Techniques to provide inputs in project management activities (e.g. reporting reviewing documents audit compliance reports providing status). Raise concerns within own area of work in a timely manner and implement the same under guidance
• Use Project Governance Framework to facilitate communication with the right stakeholders and Project Metrics to help them understand their relevance in project; and to share inputs on project metrics with the relevant stakeholders for own area of work
• Use Estimation and Resource Planning knowledge to help estimate and plan resources for specific modules / small projects with detailed requirements in place
• Use Knowledge Management Tools & Techniques to participate in the knowledge management process (such as Project specific KT). Consume and contribute to the knowledge management repository
• Use knowledge of Technical Standards Documentation & Templates to understand and interpret the documents provided
• Use Requirement Gathering and Analysis knowledge to analyse requirements (functional/ non -functional) and functionality raise clarifications/ambiguities create requirement documents (such as traceability matrix bridge documents etc.) under supervision. Provide inputs/ create estimates and solutions (based on the size of the project) create design documents identify impacted areas based on the change requests understand the data and model the requirements based on requirements
• Use Solution Structuring knowledge to understand the proposed solution. Provide inputs to create draft proposals/ RFP (including effort estimation scheduling resource loading etc.)

Knowledge Examples:

• Domain/ Industry Knowledge: Basic knowledge of standard business processes within the relevant industry vertical and customer business domain
• Technology Knowledge: Working knowledge of sub-portion in a technology area related to own area of work (e.g. Java/JEE 5+ Microsoft technologies or Mainframe/legacy); sub-set of frameworks (Struts JSF Hibernate Spring) etc. sufficient enough to implement end-to-end application related to own area of work; low level details such as data structures algorithms within one technology stack; configuration parameters for successful deployment within one technology stack
