Participate in the SWE-IPT
. The senior representatives of the computing 
environment organization should participate in the SWE-IPT to contribute to 
making favorable architectural decisions. Representatives from the computing 
environment organization bring their knowledge of the computing hardware, 
networking, communications, operating systems, middleware, and other compu-
tational challenges to the SWE-IPT.
2. 
Identify computing environment implementation challenges, constraints, and 
risks
. Representatives of the computing environment organization should

identify computational challenges, constraints, and risks associated with align-
ing the computing environment implementation workload with the requirements 
baseline and functional architecture.
3. 
Prepare the preliminary computing environment implementation plan.
 
Representatives of the computing environment organization should prepare 
the computing environment implementation plan. This plan must identify the 
computing environment implementation tasks, work packages, and schedule 
milestones for establishing and qualifying the computational environment. This 
plan will not have the requisite clarity necessary to be executable due to the 
amorphous state of the structural configuration. However, it should provide a 
more accurate forecast of the anticipated workload than previous versions of the 
plan.
