Practice: Architectural Design - Operation Based
This practice describes an operation-based approach of defining the system architecture.
Purpose

This practice focuses on the incremental (by operation) derivation of responsibilities for system components and on budgeting non-functional requirements to the architectural structure including interfaces at the lowest level of decomposition.

Value proposition points:

  • Enable earlier stabilization of interfaces one level at a time to enable concurrent design and shorten lead time.
  • Promotes early re-use and reduction of unwanted redundancy of responsibilities.
How to read this practice

Start with the main workflow and read each task in detail. As this practice uses the Joint Realization capability pattern defined in the practice with the same name, get a good understanding of viewpoints and the joint realization technique.
