— contract audits — assistance with the review of ICT contracts before they are signed or for major changes for phase transitions, important milestones, approvals, etc.

— system architecture — assist Statsbygg with continuing ongoing activities within system architecture that covers: Organisation, work processes, IT systems, data and technology. The consultant must be aware of best practice and have used recognised methods, tools and frameworks. Statsbygg currently uses Sparx Enterprise Architect as a modelling tool.
— preparation of requirements specification — prepare functional and technical requirements that offered systems must fulfil. Assist in the preparation of user stories in order to describe requirements for suppliers in a continual delivery model (agile). They must be aware of best practice, relevant standards and standardisation work, and have used recognised methods, tools and frameworks.
— test management — consultancy and support for projects and deliveries for establishing a test strategy and test plans in projects and other delivery courses. A decision has been made to use the tool Zephyr as a support tool for the test processes in Statsbygg. Zephyr is an additional module for the JIRA tool. Testing here means that all new or changed parts of a system (system components) shall go through a structured, predictable and traceable test system, in which the actual result is assessed against the expected result. This applies to both system changes as a consequence of deviations (errors or shortcomings) or changes for new or changed functionality.
— change management — assistance with changes connected to the implementation of new ICT systems and/or work processes.
— system management — assistance with the management of ICT systems. Typically assignments will be reporting and qualifying errors and changes, dialogue with suppliers during system tests, acceptance testing for error recovery and developed changes as well as assistance with production setting.
10 (ten) parallel framework agreements will be signed within contract area 2 on the basis of this contest, if the contest provides sufficient grounds for this.
