Solution Intent (con't)

The benefit of having a Solution Intent for SKA identified, specified and maintained is to have:

• the all teams aligned on a single solution through out the development of SKA,
• Communicate decisions
• Support compliance

The benefit for the Observatory is also to keep record of the knowledge generated during the development.

The Solution Intent Description document is maintained in a standard SKA document format.

The constituents/ingredients of the Solution Intent for SKA will include:

• Requirements and NFR
• Architecture views according to SKA standard
• Interfaces
• Models
• Important decisions
• Test cases

The document shall also contain the description of a process to establish, maintain and share the Solution Intent.

The Solution Intent landing page on Confluence is established and maintained to support the development of the Solution Intent.
