On This Lesson 4 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
write policies that choose an approach and rule out others.
Planned topics
- A guiding policy is a rule of thumb that shapes many decisions, such as "buy generic capabilities".
- Good policies are specific enough to say no and are tied to the diagnosis.
- Include the trade-off: what we give up for what we gain.
- Provide defaults and an exception process.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
three policies with trade-offs: "New cross-domain access goes through published APIs (slower short-term features, lower coupling)", "Generic capabilities are bought (less control, faster delivery)", "Each region added needs a business trigger."
