Frequently, it is helpful to begin a new IT project with a Technical Architecture. This process allows all stakeholders to express their needs and concerns about the use of technology in the business. It also provides the implementation team an opportunity to become intimately familiar with the business environment and the technical issues they will face during application development. In building a Technical Architecture, we begin with your key business drivers to identify goals, principles, models and standards for using Information Technology in your business. Four views are developed to fully explore your project from a business, functional, technical and implementation perspective. These views answer the key questions of strategic planning for systems implementation:
In each view, guiding principles lead to rationales, implications, obstacles and actions. The information gathered in each view leads logically to produce the guiding principles for the development of the next view. This process results in a Technical Architecture which is used to direct the development of a business solution. A Technical Architecture is like a blueprint for building your system. With it, the implementation team will have a set of unambiguous instructions for putting your system together. If during implementation, any practical details cause a change in the plans, the architecture is easily updated to reflect the changes. The chain of justification for each implementation detail is clearly laid out based on your original business drivers. If your assumptions change, it is easy to see what impact it will have on systems development. Webmaster: David B Turner
