Produce designs for all active edge devices participating into Production, consistently (e.g., entire network, plan and designs completeness) and reliably (e.g. on time publications and hand offs to the team's customers). Incorporate NPI solutions into plans and designs. Ensure plan and design toolsets and business processes are ready for intaking NPIs. Evolve the business processes governing the generation of plans and designs throughout their lifecycle (e.g., input gathering, generation, validation, publication, handoff), specifically including the definition of the business policies that govern them (e.g., architectural/topology, hardware lifecycle, capacity/utilization target, failure policy).
