On This Lesson 3 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
build an architecture work plan with stages, exit criteria, and reviews. Prepares ARC-006-LAB1.
Draft outline details
Step by step
- Take the program plan: phases, milestones, teams, dates.
- Overlay the seven stages with deliverables and exit criteria per stage.
- Place reviews and name the decision-maker for each.
- Define the delivery-support model: design authority, decision log, weekly office hours.
- Planned mistake: the plan puts all design before any build, with the architect leaving after approval. Fix: design the first release in depth, plan feedback loops after release one, and schedule support and handover.
- Check alignment with the program plan and with the sponsor's dates.
Check your understanding
What is wrong with designing everything first?
Show answer
