The architecture has to describe all of the current deployment technology patterns, and that must have a traceability matrix from requirements to process to information to physical implementation. To understand whether the architecture is 'good' or 'bad' or somewhere in between, and a lot of color between white and black of failure and perfection, all you need to do is look at key business metrics for improving its traceability.




The operating ratio (complexity, maintenance vs. new development, sustainability, et
c.) There is never "enough" to optimize operations and fine-tuning differentiated business capabilities. Complexity has increased exponentially and has become part of the digital new normal.

In many global or multinational organizations, the challenges of stakeholder involvement are real for business initiatives. The manager should never lose sight of all requirements and relationships, and to make sure those requirements whose improvement has the most benefit to the business. It is up to leaders to interpret and leverage the stakeholders’ expectations and come up with an expectation that you believe is suitable for your role.
