This section will be updated soon

The TDA has three key roles:

to own the set of technical standards UIS should use across its systems, projects and services,
to provide technical advice, and
to approve technical aspects of all high-level project designs.

By agreement with senior UIS management, the Technical Design Authority shall:

consist of at least the Architecture team and the Portfolio Technical Leads,
own the set of technical standards projects shall choose from for all new services, and the development of existing ones,
provide guidance on technical decisions,
approve or reject high-level designs as early as possible in the project life cycle and as required later, and
receive input from all portfolios via the Portfolio Technical Leads, and feed technical advice back.
