Architecture Vision Composer

Compose a Phase A Architecture Vision and draft Statement of Architecture Work by working through stakeholder concerns, business goals, and the target state summary.

Phase A, Architecture VisionDerived from TOGAF

The Architecture Vision passes a four-check Phase A gate to become the Statement of Work

The vision enters on the left and the signed Statement of Architecture Work leaves on the right. Between them sit four named gate checks, each owned by a sponsor or board. All four must pass, or the vision returns for another iteration.

The Statement of Architecture Work cannot be signed until all four checks pass. Each check names its sponsor or board owner, so every gate conversation has a name attached, and a failed check sends the vision back rather than letting weak scope through.

The Architecture Vision passes a four-check Phase A gate to become the Statement of Work A left-to-right Phase A pipeline with a decision gate in the middle. The Architecture Vision panel on the left is the input; a blue arrow labelled enters gate carries it into a stacked column of four gate checks: Scope is clear owned by the Sponsor, Principles agreed owned by the Architecture board, Stakeholders named owned by the Architect, and Risk accepted owned by the Risk board, each showing a green Pass tag. A blue arrow labelled all pass, signed leaves the gate to the Statement of Architecture Work on the right. A single red loopback arrow along the bottom returns to the vision, labelled if any check fails the vision iterates. A red note states there is no partial sign-off.
