Process Improvements / Delivery Excellence:

1. Identify avenues to improve project delivery parameters (e.g. productivity
   efficiency
   process
   security. etc.) by leveraging tools
   automation
   etc.
   
2. Understand various technical tools used in the project (third party as well as home-grown) to improve efficiency
   productivity

Skill Examples:

1. Use Domain/ Industry Knowledge to understand business requirements create POC to meet business requirements under guidance
2. 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 same
3. Use knowledge of Architecture Concepts and Principles to provide inputs to the senior architects towards building component solutions deploy the solution as per the architecture under guidance
4. Use Tools and Principles to create low level design under guidance from the senior Architect for the given business requirements
5. 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 input on project metrics with the relevant stakeholders for own area of work
6. Use Estimation and Resource Planning knowledge to help estimate and plan resources for specific modules / small projects with detailed requirements in place
