1 Purp Purpos ose e of this this Docu Docume ment nt The Architecture Vision is created early on in the project lifecycle and provides a high-level, aspirational view of the end architecture product. The purpose of the vision is to agree at the outset what the desired outcome should be for the architecture, so that architects can then focus on the critical areas to validate feasibility. Providing an Architecture Vision also supports stakeholder communication by providing an executive summary version of the full Architecture Definition. It may be that the Architecture Vision is documented using a wiki or as an intranet rather than a text based document. Even better better would be to use a licensed licensed TOGAF tool that that captures this output. output. This template shows “typical” contents of an Architecture Vision and can be adapted to align with any TOGAF adaptation being implemented.
