Presentation
Architecture Decision Process at Project and Programme Level at Carphone Warehouse Group
A case study of Enterprise Architecture Decisions made in the context of engagement with the business. It defines Architecture Decision at a project & programme level, as a uniquely identifiable process with specific inputs, deliverables, and involving not one but many key actors and business stakeholders. The process evolved over a number of years and applied successfully across business-critical projects and programmes. In order to trigger the process, certain criteria must be met, such as whether the trigger is a business change request, a technology issue, or a project/programme level request. As only certain identifiable circumstances would trigger the process, periodic audits with process owners, measurement of the success and effectiveness of the process were possible, resulting in streamlined processes.

Audience:-
