Presentation
Applying TOGAF 8 Architecture Compliance Resource in Architecture Reviews

Raytheon Network Centric Systems has instituted a process to conduct architecture reviews for programs that have emphasis on system of systems or what Raytheon called Mission System Integration.  These reviews are conducted by the business architecture review board (ARB) either at the request of the senior management or triggered by the business development process phases.  In this talk, we intend to share our methodology and experiences in conducting the reviews.  Specifically, we would like to describe how we leverage TOGAF 8 Architecture Compliance resources contained in Chapter 24 of TOGAF Version 8.1 Enterprise Edition.  Lessons learned and suggestions on how to apply the TOGAF Architecture Compliance resources will be discussed.
