The lesson

Bring together the suitability assessment, architecture, oversight design, model choice and connectivity design from earlier modules.

Check that every significant risk has a safeguard and every safeguard can be tested.

Hold a design review before building.

Step by step

  1. Assemble the design document.
  2. Map risks to safeguards.
  3. Hold the design review.
  4. Agree the build plan.

Practice activity

Complete milestone 1: the approved design.

Expected result: An approved design with risks mapped to testable safeguards.
