Research and design the solution(s) to address the problem that’s identified and defined in the Problem Definition attached. This is the continuation of the Problem Definition phase, so the solution design should be appended to the previous deliverable.
The design should clearly explain how to address the identified problem. It should also be forward-thinking, proactive, and realistic.
Here are the key components of the Solution Design deliverable.
• Define and design appropriate policies, procedures, regulations, agreements, products, and services that will effectively solve the IT Governance problem or support an opportunity.
• Analyze the risk exposure of not taking any action to address the compliance problem.
• Suggest what should happen after the design is implemented (i.e., a follow-up to the solution design)
• Provide cost and impact estimates where available. Estimate the labor hours required to implement the design (e.g., the average IT Governance consultation hourly rate is $300)
