The document outlines an Architecture Delivery Process (ADP) that guides the creation of architecture deliverables throughout a project's lifecycle. The ADP defines roles and responsibilities for deliverables, inputs required, and how architecture resources are utilized during projects. It aims to maximize the value of architecture by clearly linking business capabilities to technical solutions and ensuring accountability of architects. The ADP also determines what projects require architect involvement based on an architecture significance assessment.

Definition
Conceptual architecture model provides an understandable
picture of the overall purpose of the proposed solution to
business stakeholders. The solution components can be
“layered” on top of a process, functional or “tiered”
(presentation, business, data) view.
Creation
Process
• Review the charter and business context
diagram(s)and developa detailed
understandingof situation
• Review the high use cases and requirements
to understand the direction of thefuturestate
• Identifythesolution components that would
enablethe futurestate solution
• Socializewith business stakeholders and get
buy-in

Project Architecture Delivery Process (ADP) –
• Outlines the architecture deliverables created during different phases of the
SDLC
• Assigns responsibilities for each architecture deliverable
• Defines inputs required for key deliverable s and clarifies the role in the
architecture delivery process
• Facilitates optimal use of architecture resources during the SDLC

ADP takes an architecture view of deliverables, and defines roles and responsibilities in the
context of delivering the solution architecture for a project.

Architect
Architecture Significance Model
Calculate Significance by evaluating multiple factors including
business impact, technology impact, process changes, portfolio
impact, etc. Architecture Significance Score should be used to
determine if architects should play a role in a project. A
higher assessment means that the architecture needs to be
engaged at a greater level.
Project Typing Framework
Uses Architecture Significance and project costs to determine
“Type”. Project Type determines the level of architect assigned
on a project.
Type 4 and Type 3: Projects that enable strategic capabilities
Type 2: Projects that enable key capabilities, but are not as strategic as
Type 4 & Type 3 projects
Type 1: Projects that have fairly low architecture significance

Key Benefits of the ADP
• Enables CTO to develop a more effective
partnership with the business, clearly
linking desired business capabilities to
technical implications
• Dispels the “ivory tower” view of
enterprise architecture by ensuring
accountability of architects to project
delivery
• Supports enterprise efforts (e.g.
governance) as well as agendas of the
individual lines of business
• Provide clear roles and responsibilities
• Maximizes value from architects through
effective use and communication of
standards and governance
The goal of the ADP is to maximize value of architecture throughout the project delivery lifecycle.
