SSC Artifacts and Diagrams (view source)
Revision as of 20:36, 22 September 2020
, 20:36, 22 September 2020Completed updating the artifacts for solution architecture.
These diagrams are for service or solution architectures for initiatives. The solution architecture artifacts are usually captured in a Service and Solution Architecture Description deliverable (package). These solution architectures are reviewed with enterprise architecture through a governance processes (architecture assurance) to help ensure alignment with the enterprise architecture.

Scope/Constraints: None.
Scope/Constraints: Uses motivation elements of outcomes and implementation & migration element of work package and deliverable.
Key Stakeholders: Project manager/lead, project team, business analyst, benefits realization team, governance bodies, management, executives.
Prepared by: Benefits management in cooperation with the project/service team and/or service/solution architect.
Purpose/Value: Identify the benefits of a projects/initiative, identifying key performance metrics (KPI's) that will be used to measure success of the effort. Helps ensure alignment with enterprise outcomes, identify and link requirements to tactical and strategic outcomes.
===== Context Diagram =====
Based on ArchiMate Viewpoint:
Key Stakeholders: Enterprise Architect, Governance Bodies (EART, AC, SARB).
Prepared by: Service/Solution architect
Purpose/Value: Identifies the services used and/or modified/created by the initiative. Identifies and links the initiative to a business capability to be fully or partly realized by the initiative.
