Introduction
You are the lead architect for this project. The company has designated you because it’s a small company and perfect for your first time as an architect. Since you have spent the past 7 weeks in training to be an architect, perform your assessment using headers to separate sections of information:
Defining the scope of the project
To begin, you’ll need to define the scope of your project. This will include defining boundaries and identifying what is in and out of scope. For example, if you are building an application for a client that needs a new database, then that would be considered part of your project (in). However if they want their existing database modified with some additional features then this may also be considered part of your project (out).
Background of the organization
Company name, location, and industry:
The company is called “Company XYZ” and it is located in San Francisco. It has been in business for 5 years. It services a wide range of clients including small businesses and large enterprises that have hundreds or thousands of employees.
Size: The current user base (i.e., number) is 10 million. There are also 1 million users who use the system once per month while another 2 million use it daily with some exceptions like weekends when they don’t work during those times because they’re not required by their employers to be there during those times since they don’t need any specific tasks accomplished at those times so there would be no need for them being available 24/7 like other employees who do have such responsibilities but still need flexibility within their schedules so they can take care of personal matters without having anything interfere with what needs doing now.”
Stakeholders, owners, and users
Stakeholders, owners and users are all stakeholders in the project. You need to understand who they are and how they will benefit from your work.
Stakeholders are people or groups that can be affected by an action or decision made by an organization. Here’s an example: If you were designing a website for a painting company, then your stakeholders would include their customers (who use their products) as well as employees (who work there). Owners are responsible for managing assets like buildings or vehicles so they know what needs doing when it comes time to fix them up after years of neglecting them! Users is just another way of saying “people who use something”. In this case we’re talking about websites like ours…
Existing and proposed products/services
You are the lead architect for this project because it is a small company and perfect for your first time. You have spent the past 7 weeks in training to be a System Architect, perform your assessment.
Existing Products/Services: describe the company’s existing products and services
Proposed Products/Services: describe the company’s proposed products and services
Current Customers: describe who your client currently has as customers or prospective customers
Future Customers: identify where you think your client will expand its market share in 5 years’ time
Expected risks
Define the problem before starting on a solution.
Don’t worry about what other people’s goals are. Be ambitious, but stay realistic! You can do this!
Examples of tangible fitness goals you could achieve in 3-6 months:
Train 5 days per week for 30 minutes at a time (5 rounds of 50 push-ups and 50 squats) with no breaks between sets or rounds; increase weight by 10% each month until reaching my goal weight by July 2020 (170 pounds); run an 8 mile race next year
Quality of existing and proposed products/services
You have been asked by the CEO to design and build a new product or service that will improve the quality of life for your customers. The CEO has specified that this project must be completed within 6 months, with minimal budget constraints and no disruption in business operations.
The company has already developed an operating manual for its employees on how they should operate in order to maintain quality throughout their work process. However, there are many processes within this manual which are not being used consistently by all employees (e.g., testing procedures). This lack of consistency may lead to problems when customers see substandard products delivered by your company’s suppliers during delivery dates agreed upon earlier between them during contract negotiations
Lead Architect for this project
It is your job as the Lead Architect to define the scope of this project. This includes identifying all stakeholders, owners, and users of existing products/services in order to ensure they are accounted for throughout this process. You will also need to research current risk management practices within your organization and determine which ones are appropriate for use on this particular project. Finally, you may find it helpful to review some quality standards that have been established by industry groups such as ISO 9001:2015 (quality management system) or ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management systems).
Conclusion
This is a great opportunity for you to show off your skills and get experience.
