Governance Decision Simulator

Work through governance scenarios and see the downstream consequences of each response so boards can rehearse decisions before they are binding.

Phase G, Implementation GovernanceDerived from TOGAF

A governance decision has a path that passes and a path that stalls

An architecture change moves through submission, board review and decision. At each stage the green card is what carries it forward and the red card is what sends it to waiver, rework or rejection.

Proportionate governance is not slow governance. A submission with evidence, a board with tiered decision rights and a waiver with an owner and an expiry all move change forward; their absence is what stalls it.

A governance decision has a path that passes and a path that stalls Three governance stages read left to right, joined by blue then arrows: Stage 1 Submission, Stage 2 Board review and Stage 3 Decision, shown in red as the terminal stage. Each stage is a column holding two outcome cards. The upper green card, labelled Moves forward, names what carries the change on: rationale, owner and evidence at submission; routine calls delegated to domain leads at board review; and a waiver with an owner and an expiry at decision. The lower red card, labelled Stalls when, names what sends it to waiver, rework or rejection: shipped with no waiver request; the board reviewing every small choice; or a decision logged with no owner. A two-state legend names both colours.
