PD03 |

| Problem Summary |
PD03 may be interpreted too narrowly |
|---|
| Problem Text |
PD03 states that "Candidates are required to maintain their vertical
industry knowledge (e.g., telecoms, financial, etc.)."
This has been incorrectly interpreted to mean that Candidates are
expected to specialise and remain in a particular vertical. Many architects
are required to move between different industries when they move to a
new engagement, therefore PD03 may be seen as difficut to meet.
The intent of PD03 is to ensure that Certified IT Architects routinely
acquire and maintain knowedge of the industries in which they are
working in order to be able to address their clients' needs in their
business context.
At level 1, candidates are required to show how they have developed
their industry knowledge as well as how they have maintained it once
acquired
At level 2 we look for maintainence of industry knowledge, but there is no
requirement to show how industry knowledge is acquired. This is to
ensure IT Architects who do specialise in one vertical industry are not
exluded. Candidates who have moved between industry verticals are
expected to show how they have leaned and maintained their knowledge
of the new verticals
Candidates are not required to maintain knowledge of industry sectors in
which they no longer work
The Specification Authority should consider clarifying this in a future
release of the Conformance Requirements
